snetterton 13th July

[Timthebrief]

Got our tickets for this.

Any newcomers or strangers head for SCN "unofficial" hospitality tent and multiple flags. You won't miss it, it's now visible from space

Any one else coming in from the A14 to A11 earlyish on Sunday want to hook up for a convoy? It's 20 years since this area was my stamping ground so any ideas for a good rendzvous point would be welcome.

I don't think it can be classed as unofficial Tim. It's always had our blessing.

Even SEAT call you lot the Balmy Army.

Official SEAT press shot from Thruxton.

 

[Timthebrief]

Just meant "unofficial" in the sense of the circuits Z. Mind you I can see them trying to charge us rent for it before too long. Great pic of us at Thruxton though. Infamy is calling.

Ps Any word on Parking passes?

 

[ZBOYD]

Nope not for Snetterton, i fear it would be too late now for us to sort it out. But i'll send an email tomorrow.

 

[FSiLeonMike]

no group parking.............gutted!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cupra20]

oh well never mind just have to park with the rest.

Looks like its another Wet One

[FSiLeonMike]

Looked at that earlier today. I guess we'll see lots of cars bouncing off the tyre walls then.

Might be worth getting near "Russell Bend", always a good place for action, especially as they try to get on the power up the hill onto the start/finish straight, or maybe at the end of "Revetts Straight", as they slow for the "The Esses", always drama in the wet

 

[ZBOYD]

Sadly no parking passes for Snetterton as I'm sure you have guessed. SEAT Sport/SEAT UK are spread a little thin this month, with the BTCC events, WTCC @ Brands and the Motorshow not to mention the Red Bull Air Race too.

They hope to get us sorted for Oulton Park, as usual though keep your eyes on the forum they'll be an announcement regarding available parking nearer the time.

i'll be a russell to start off i reckon - i will be the one sat in a very small tent with my mates! lol

 

[Empi5]

As always Tea and Coffee will be available if you ask nicely, in our "large" Tent.....

 

[FSiLeonMike]

Might take you up on that Empi

 

[Cupra20]

who cares if it's wet it will make a even more interesting race!!!

Me and my dad will be at the SS's like normal get some "challenges" there usually!!

 

[Empi5]

Might take you up on that Empi

No worries fella, im sure people think that its a "clicky" crowd, but its not like that at all. Just come over, its all good fun,. Problem is that usually Saturday is quite a "heavy" day on the beer, so not everyone is at their best......

 

[Cupra20]

As always Tea and Coffee will be available if you ask nicely, in our "large" Tent.....

We might have to pop ever if the weather is unkind to us, i'll be the young lad with a father not far behind!!!

Will you be infield like last year?

 

[DannyC87]

shame, seat were the fastest testing in the dry, they don't have a decent wet set-up yet hopefully they will get a chance to try a couple of set-ups over the weekend and have a good 2nd half of the season!

 

[tashacupra]

Hi all, i'll be there sunday with my other half, we'll be heading in from the norwich direction so may see some of you on the way in (we,ll be in black mk3 ibiza with fmic and carbon bonnett)! If not we'll have a wander over to see you all at some point although first thing we'll probable be at "russells".

 

[FSiLeonMike]

Reckon I'll head to russells too, a nice right then left up onto the start/finish, bound to be drama if the track is damp

 

[DannyC87]

yep, take bets on who is going to be the first to flaten those plastic markers by the kerbs

 

[FSiLeonMike]

I was there earlier in the year for the "Top Hat" series, they were racing old classics, including RS3100 Capris in the wet. There was some serious sliding about that day.
