ocated in Norfolk, UK, Snetterton Circuit was first opened in 1951. Built on a former WWII RAF airfield, the original circuit was constructed on the old runways and taxi ways left but the track has undergone many renovations and upgrade with the most significant changes having been completed in 2011.

There are three configurations of Snetterton Circuit available in iRacing – the 300 Circuit, 200 Circuit and 100 Circuit.
