    So Snetterton Drift days are back with dates in April, July, August, September and October

    Drifting at Snetterton is one of the best drift day going (not my words but yours)


    The same format as before limited numbers and open pit lane.
    Plenty of seat time as long as you have tyres and fuel to last you!

    105dB noise limit


    You will need a crash helmet and driving licences, arm and legs must covered.:nod:


    For Booking and more info follow the link:
    MSV Car Track Days Home Page


    Hope to see you there

    they also sell part worn tyres on site? I usually relay on Mint tyres or other companies which come with spare tyres for sale on site.

    Are they brutally strict on the static test?

    It's higher than 4k for the sound test if you have an Sr, it's a percentage of the rev range, every time I've been tested at snett it's been 5K.

    They are pretty strict on static test yeh.

    I struggle with the big left hander and I have 230hp at the wheels in my 5.
    But that said, it's an awesome track, and you'll have a blast, just use the big corner and straight to let the tyres cool.

    Does anyone know where we can leave feedback for Snetterton drift days. I spoke to a super nice guy at the end of the Snet drift day who gave the morning briefing. He was asking about feedback and asked if we could leave some.

    However not been able to find anywhere to submit.

    they sent me an email asking for feedback.
    I though the day was spoilt by the 'only drift within the cones' rule.

    TBH judging by most of the driving through the day and the amount of yellow and red flags i'd say the no drifting between cones was the only reason i managed 2 laps the whole day where i could drift every corner.

    Me too.

    I only caused 1 flag (about 11am) but it was a bloody long red one. Really sorry all who were waiting.
    My rear wheel fell off middle of Palmer (last corner)
    I'm still baffled as to what caused it, mid drift, didn't hit anything, nuts all torqued up. Snapped all 5 wheel studs & it took ages to lift it on to the truck.

    It was pretty grippy but no grippier than Lydden which I'd done on the Saturday.

    Apologies again for holding it up, I'd been getting pissed off with the number the flags up to that point as conditions were perfect.

    Good to see it busy up there this time

    Genuine issues can't be avoided fella.
    Ive sent feedback to Snetterton but i'm not going back again until either they do sessions based on drift experience like Lydden do or it goes back to how it was where it was aimed at specific experience. I'e beginner, intermediate and advanced

    Shame since snetterton was my fav track for seat time.
