Talking PERFORMANCE FORD Track Evening!

To keep everyone going through the summer months / show season we've arranged a track evening event at Snetterton Race Circuit.

All the details are below, but for anyone that's not been to Snet before it's a hell of a lot more challenging than the circuit layout might suggest. For the speed freaks it's also home to one of the longest straights at a UK circuit, Revett!

You get two and a half hours of open pit lane action, a picture CD from the day and probably some other goodies that we'll sort out nearer the time. We're also hoping to sort out a BBQ and a few drinks afterwards so it should be a good social event too.

Places are limited and pit garages are on a first come, first serve basis.

DATE: Thursday 24th July
VENUE: Snetterton Circuit, Norwich, Norfolk, NR16 2JU
Noise limit: 105db
COST: £89



To book your place, simply visit:

I'll check, but last time I went you go to the static noise check, sticker gets placed on your screen and then you're left to play!

You'll have a big advantage over me at Snet… I'll have my best slicks ready for you! lol

This may not or may explain

Welcome to the Performance Ford Magazine Track Evening!

Here is your chance to join other Performance Ford Readers for an evening of track driving exclusive to all Ford vehicles. The open pit lane format will ensure you will have all the circuit time you can handle whilst developing your skills in a safe and controlled environment.

Snetterton’s Senna and Revett straights are two of the longest, fastest straights on any circuit in the UK. Linked by sweeping corners such as Coram Curve and a few mind-concentrating chicanes, this track is exciting for novices and track day addicts alike.

Places are limited so book now to avoid dissappointment! We look forward to seeing you here.

"exclusive to all ford vehicles" doesnt really make sense. should really say "exclusive to ford veichles" as exclusive and all in the same sentance is contradictory

I must confess I didn't see that on the site, as I just booked it straight up after reading the post here (which didnt say that ) . Where does that leave us, as I booked Charlie on in his Ford Leaon Cupra R ?
