Current Events
As one of the UK’s main circuits, Snetterton holds rounds of the British Touring Car Championship, British Superbike Championship and British F3/GT Championships.
The circuit’s licence allows it to hold an annual 24-hour race, since 2003 for Citroen 2CVs and a 6-hour classic plus 12-hour Mazda MX-5 enduros have been added to the calendar.
The proximity to the Lotus factory has led to an annual festival celebrating the marque and classic F1 cars often run on the circuit. In 2010 an example of every Lotus F1 car was assembled on the grid.
During the week the circuit offers some general test days and driving experiences, and can also be hired out for private testing and track days.

Famous quotes containing the words current and/or events:
“This is no argument against teaching manners to the young. On the contrary, it is a fine old tradition that ought to be resurrected from its current mothballs and put to work...In fact, children are much more comfortable when they know the guide rules for handling the social amenities. It’s no more fun for a child to be introduced to a strange adult and have no idea what to say or do than it is for a grownup to go to a formal dinner and have no idea what fork to use.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
“Man is a stream whose source is hidden. Our being is descending into us from we know not whence. The most exact calculator has no prescience that somewhat incalculable may not balk the very next moment. I am constrained every moment to acknowledge a higher origin for events than the will I call mine.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
