Snetterton and 1st time advice please

[theboyfold]

Having looked around for ages for a track day and read up on the posts in here I think I'm going to book a day at Snetterton. I've got a few questions for the guys and gals who have lots more experience then me at this sort of thing!

Is Snetterton a good place for a track debut? Does it have good run offs and a smooth surface? (I've heard Bedford is the best place for this, but they don't do a novices event that I can see)

Are the Gold Track novice packages any good? I read about a Brands (Motor Sport Vision) event earlier in the summer and it seemed that the lots of the drivers weren't novices.

Does anybody have any experience of a MSV novices day since March time?

I drive a Clio 182, which will be fine on the twisty stuff, but will Snetterton be too fast for it? I'd rather not feel like I was a moving roadblock at times, a recent PH run to Chichester showed how massive the performance difference from a 182 to TVR is.
Thanks in advance, the advice I've gotten for this forum so far has always been very helpful

I couldn't make it on the Tuesday in the end, had to book a day at Brands instead...

Thanks for the advice mate, can't wait to go. I'm off to Brands next week for a novices afternoon, so it should be good. Looks like I might be the only one from the forum there though...
