New spectator banking at Snetterton?
I've been there a few times already this year, and it looks as if they are building new banking on the outside of the Revett straight. Could be good...

They've had the JCB moving up and down for a few months now. I've not heard anything official, but the logical answer is new spectator banking. I'm sure how far up to Sear it will go, but it certainly looks good.
My only question is how popular a viewing spot it will be - how high is it going for visibilty around the other parts of the circuit? As just being able to see the straight itself wouldn't interest me much... |

Not all the way as of yet, it's the same old wasteland further down.

i was there yesterday and noticed a few more changes, they've removed the marshals post and barrier at russell, i guess to avoid nasty accidents where cars spin to the infield coming out of coram, and they've also filled in the area that was a steep slope in front of you whilst at the esses, the fence line is now where the slope began, i.e. further back
