The map has no corner numbers. The numbers follow the order of the names on Wikipedia, and the position of the markers is our own assignment. The direction is derived from the arrows on the map. The truck lap record of 2:23.367 (Ryan Smith, 2021) is probably out of date, but we have not found a more recent time.
The British Truck Racing Championship (BTRC) races here on the full 300 circuit, not on the shorter layouts. In 2027 Snetterton is round 2 of 7 on 1 and 2 May. There are five races per weekend in two divisions. A BTRC report describes the circuit as twisty and narrow.
For comparison, 2024: in Division 1 the winners were Michael Oliver (races 1 and 4), Stuart Oliver (race 2) and Ryan Smith (races 3 and 5). In Division 2, John Powell won all five races. There is no record of the European Truck Racing Championship (ETRC) racing at Snetterton.
The circuit lies on the site of the former RAF Snetterton Heath airfield, which from 1943 was home to a bomber group of the US Air Force. The first corner is called Riches after Fred Riches, the landowner to whom the site was returned in 1948. From 1980 to 1994 it hosted the Willhire 24 Hours, Britain’s first 24-hour race.
