Unfortanotly this could be the last outing of my zt typhoon as she will shortly be up for sale

Hi,
I'll be coming up from Essex so what would you think would be a good place that would be central for people coming from that direction and those from North of Snetterton?
How come your selling your Mg and are you getting anything nice to replace her with?

Thanks Phil,
I Promise to post lots of photos up for you so you will be tempted into the next one Sir

Going to Brands Hatch in October for the btcc as well. Doing that one with the family so I'll keep that as is but there are lots of other events in the near future that are always great fun to attend.....Watch this space!

Thinking about this, but still awaiting the nod from work (on shift that weekend - typical!)

Hi Mike,

Will be good to see you there if you can make it

Right, I'm off to study Google Maps to see if I can find a good meeting point somewhere near the circuit and central for people coming from different directions. Open to any suggestions as well as the ones already mentioned

If it does look awkward to meet outside the venue then perhaps we can arrange to meet up inside the gates.
This is where those of you that know the venue come in handy. I.e. a good muster point that will also provide good viewing of the race and access to facilities etc.
Only two weeks to go...........Yey!!

What's the latest plans on this? What time and where are we meeting up?

coolcat · 6th August 2012, 09:07

Hi Steve,

I'm aiming to get to Snetterton for 8.30 ish.
I think the best thing to do as I don't know the area that well and no one else has given a definitive answer re meeting up outside the circuit is to get in, get parked then meet up inside the venue.
I shall go onto the website and have a good look round and get an idea of the best meeting point for us all.
Shall also go on my photographic forum and check out the best place for meeting/viewing the race and proximity of amenities for us.
What I'm planning to do is get to the pit lane before the races start and get some photo's of the static cars, drivers etc there then head out to the track and our designated meeting place, thats the idea anyhow.
Shall post back my findings in a bit

Steve916 · 6th August 2012, 09:51

Ok that's great

Steve916 · 9th August 2012, 14:03

Just been looking at Google Maps and just outside the circuit is a roundabout with a junction off into the market/ shopping area. We could meet there at 8.30 if you like

I noticed that the road to the market area is gated so if they are closed, we could meet in front of those gates, otherwise just inside.
Here's a map. Have a look at street view level and see what you think

coolcat · 9th August 2012, 17:29

Hi Steve,
Sorry for the late reply had a lot on my plate with work at the moment

I'm up for that, seems like a good spot to meet up.
I have to drive to Earls Colne to pick my Dad up early Sunday morning and hope to get there around that time hoping traffic etc doesn't conspire against us

Would be useful if we know how many people are coming and whether they wish to meet up there for 8.30 or elsewhere from within the event later.
So guys let us know only a few days to go

So far Steve and Family and my Dad and myself will be meeting at the point that Steve has marked on the map.
Let us know your plans peeps.
