Facilities

Pros:

  • "Great place for track days with all the facilities you would expect."
  • "The development of Snetterton over the years has produced a first class track, with some brilliant viewing."
  • "Good facilities with plenty of toilets and drinking water taps at the sides of all the solid toilet blocks."
  • "Facilities are good always garage space for the bikes and over night camping no issue at all."
  • "The place was immaculate with more hard standing than you could shake a stick at."
  • "Parking was well managed and ample."
  • "Good viewing areas, facilities and a great day's racing which the whole family can enjoy."

Cons:

  • "Some of the facilities are starting to look a bit tired - toilets, showers, garages."
  • "The showers were a good temp as was water pressure, however the cabin they are in feels like the floor is going to give way there's that much bounce and need replacing."
  • "No covered areas. Except Tyrrell restaurant but when it rains everyone flocks there."
  • "However there was a lack of stalls selling merchandise compared to other circuits I've been to."
  • "The track view is limited compared to other tracks so you're often limited to how much of the racing you can see."
  • "Very little in the way of static picnic tables and benches around the track."
  • "The only down side if you are doing a track or race event there is no power outputs in the pits! U must take a generator for power."

Staff and Organization

Pros:

  • "Friendly staff and the open paddock meant plenty of chances to get to close to the cars, drivers, and mechanics."

  • "All staff we met were friendly, happy, smiling and went out of their way to be helpful."
  • "The staff were attentive, professional, well organized and super efficient."
  • "Staff are always more than helpful. And really look after you."
  • "The staff were very informative and approachable."
  • "The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, eager to assist and make sure everyone's needs are met."

Cons:

  • "And marshals are useless, there were numerous dangerous overtaking even on hairpins and none of them did anything."
  • "Grumpy guy on the gates letting everyone in."
  • "Just felt a bit sorry for the staff."
  • "BSB - Great weekend watching the BSB however as with last year the marshalling when leaving is terrible, no marshall's in the parking area and directing traffic meaning a 2 hour wait to leave!"
  • "The only negative comment I will make. As the disabled car park by Murray s bend is for blue badge holders of disabled people only. I did notice during the day that people watching the racing in their cars were not disabled at all."
  • "It was dark at around 8.30 when we arrived and there was no visible Security presence."
  • "At first it did seem a bit unorganised as there was quite a large queue to get in and not much seemed to be happening."

Accessibility

Pros:

  • "The disability facilities they have are good."
  • "Car/bike parking is very will organised and you can always find somewhere to get a great view."
  • "Good access to all area's."
  • "Nice site but could do with some more disabled crossing points."

Cons:

  • "Those on motorised scooters should be better controlled as two young riders (showoffs) almost ride into spectators."
  • "The only negative I have is the gravel car park is hard to push a wheelchair on and the disabled toilets are always locked."
  • "Ticket stated that gates open at 7 am on arrival were no sign to say what lane to use for disabled."
  • "Had to walk miles to get to Palmer's this morning as parked as normal through second gate other side of pits only to then be told cross over point would not be open till later in morning."
  • "No shady areas for spectators - no trees and no lean-to's."
  • "The grand stands are not grand but views of the track are really good."

  • "Bacon Roll ยฃ5 dry as sand with stringy cheap bacon and the cheapest brown sauce in existence.... ยฃ2.50 for a bottle of Coke."
