Lap Records
As Snetterton was originally an airfield, most of the lap is spent going at full throttle in a straight line. Although this is great for testing, spectators will not be able to see all of the cars and bikes most of the time. The current lap record officially stands at 56.095 (125.27 mph) set by Klaas Zwart, during a BRSCC meeting in August 2007. He was even faster in qualifying, setting an unofficial lap record of 54.687 (128.50 mph). As this circuit configuration no longer exists it will be his forever.
The current 300 circuit lap record was set by Filipe Nasr from Brazil driving a Carlin prepared Dallara F308-Volkswagen in the 2nd race of the 2011 British GT / F3 meeting. The lap was 1m 39.933s at an average speed of 106.95 mph.

Famous quotes containing the words lap and/or records:
“I like to see it lap the Miles—
And lick the Valleys up—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“Although crowds gathered once if she but showed her face,
And even old men’s eyes grew dim, this hand alone,
Like some last courtier at a gypsy camping-place
Babbling of fallen majesty, records what’s gone.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
