Bigpower

Just thought I would share my photos from the Touring cars at Snetterton on Sunday.

It was a typical Snetterton day. Hot, cold, windy, cloudy and sunny all in one, but luckily no rain.
I've been to a few smaller race meets this year since the track has been done which have been very good but I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed when it comes to a big event. There just isn't enough spectator areas. The new banked areas were jam packed and near Murry's was just a joke. It's a bit like Germans with sunbeds, you have to get there early, claim your space and then don't move for anything or anyone.
There was some good racing during the day and having the big TV screens did help but I feel more of the banking along the Bentley straight and the banking near the Bomb hole needs to be opened up for viewing.

Anyway here are some photos and a link to the Photobucket album.

With what I've said I'd like to point out that the Snetterton staff and everyone helping out did an amazing job, as it must have been very hard to make everything run so smoothly with the amount of people that were there.

Aaarrrgh! We had been planning to go to this for months! Then i totaly forgot it was on!:banghead: Although from what you ve said Tony it sounds like my five year old lad would have struggled to see what was going on if the viewing banks were that full?
Nice photos though mate!:thumbs:

I didn't even try to get on either of the in field banks they were that full. For the last race I thought I was in a fairly good place (bank near the hairpin that goes onto the in field and Bentley straight) until the race started and all the people sitting down in front of me decided to stand up

Great pics mate ! I was on the infield banking as they came off Palmer as you said the big screens helped.......But I have to say how boring some of the racing was ! Especially the Porsche's I love the look of those things and on their own I'm sure there fantastic fun but is was just 450bhp of follow the leader !
One other thing the food outlets are shocking ! Robbing bastards !

There needs to be a 'like' button on big power for comments like this!!

On a side note Its an enormous learning curve for everyone involved in these events, the entire circuit has transformed and we have learnt so much from BSB & BTCC.

We had no idea how it would pan out and no experience from previous events as it was all totally different, and from this we can only aim to improve and make the individual experiences for everyone better next year, im just proud to be a part of what is constantly becoming a more developed circuit.

I do suggest that any critisim or positives be passed on to us at MSV, as fundementally the only way for it to get better and for us to provide a better experience in the future is if spectators comments are forwarded.

Would that be by e-mailing MSV or is there a way of making comments on the website?
