Default Snetterton BTCC - 7-8-11

Quite a few Imprezas there today!
I saw a blue Hawk (GB270?), grey Blob WRX and a blue Hawk WRX in the car park opposite the pit lane and then a silver Classic and blue Bug sti on the way out
Quite a good day out, shame there were no Imprezas on the track!!!

I was there all weekend in my dark blue classic

Not sure if the new track layout made a difference, but I didn't think the touring car races were as action packed as last year. Still, a good weekend all in all.

I bet there were quite a few I missed. I was quite surprised to see as many as I did to be honest!

It's the first time i've been to a BTCC event, I went with my Civic Type R driving mate in his car. We saved quite a bit on drinks by him just signing up to the Honda newsletter (I managed to blag it), drinks were free and unlimited in the Honda tent. 'Flash' came in for a chat too which was quite good.

What changes have they made to the track?

Did you camp? I think i'd do that next time.

You obviously did better than me from the Honda tent then, I got a free pen...

They've changed the track layout a lot, have added a whole complex of new corners and improved the viewing areas. Not sure if this did have an impact on the racing, just seemed like everyone was more spread out this year, with less action.

I camped with a couple of mates, made for a good weekend. I don't think my liver is thanking me for it though!
