here is the track map. I can't find a track length, but it's really small. Maybe 2 miles.

"The Snetterton race was an outstanding result, we were up against some serious race cars, including Porsche 911 GT3, Ferrari 360, Lotus Exige, Marcos, TVRs and BMW M3s; the Mazda RX-8 was not only lapping consistently with the more powerful race cars but finished the race fourth overall and a class win, a great job by Mark and Natasha and testament to the hard work and dedication of the race team."
That's pretty impressive!

Despite being virtually showroom specification the Mazda RX-8 was lapping just two miles per hour slower than the overall winner, a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, despite having both a standard engine and gearbox.
Good stuff.

That is impressive especially after looking at the track layout. With those straights it's way more impressive.

Do you know how long those straights are? they could be 5ft long for all I know.

That was a very good guess. It's 1.952 miles according to this site: http://www.trackdays.co.uk/tracks/snetterton.htm#

Eyeballing the track layout, the Senna and Revett Straights appear to be a bit longer than a half mile in length each.
