That is right, just turn up. However remember to arrive in 70's gear or even better a pre 1976 car! The production team are happy for you to take pictures when they are not filming. Drivers there will be Rob BTCC Austin, Nikki 'The Stig' Faulkner and James MGF Rhodes.

If you are on Twitter; ask Ron any questions.

I just saw this on the Snetterton website. Have a meeting near Hethel tomorrow morning so may wander over afterwards, probably 12ish.

Only problem is I have no clue about 70's dress style! confused

Did anyone watch Angia News tonight ?
The "crew" were holding people back just after the bridge !!
Even news crews were asked to hold back,not enter the pit area, and forced to remove any phone footage etc that they may have taken !
HMMMMMM..!

Ahh wondered where you were off to when you passed me on the A11 earlier. I was going Norwich bound and had just overtaken a V8 Scimitar.....

Sounds as if it was a wasted journey...frown

I got there at around 10.30ish, as i was hoping the weather might perk up a bit. Drove up to the gate and was told i wasn't allowed in as i didn't have a pass. Showed them the posts on here, Twitter and the piece on the Snet website and they called a guy from the production co.
He gave me a car pass and said off you go, You might want to speak to the art director you knows whats going on. Trundled over the bridge and into the paddock, couldn't find anyone so i thought sod it. Stopped on the bridge on the way out and had a quick chat with the chap who sorted my pass and he didn't know what had happened. Said thanks and never mind and headed back to Norwich to get my hair cut.
