Snetterton race circuit has undergone a major redevelopment over the winter with the track transformed to become one of the best in the UK through a combination of rider exhilaration, spectator entertainment and safety. 

The new 3-mile circuit has been created - Snetterton 300 - which incorporates a completely new infield section of approximately 1 mile integrated with a revised version of the original Snetterton circuit.  Snetterton 300 will become the newest circuit in the UK and the second longest in the country, and has been designed as an international circuit.

Race one:

Brookes won the race after a stealth last lap move on Ryuichi Kiyonari, who had led the entire race until he was passed by his team-mate. Kiyo had taken the lead ahead of Michael Laverty, Alastair Seeley and Tommy Hill on the first lap. Hill was on the attack and made a move on Seeley and a good second lap put him third and within striking distance of Kiyonari and Laverty. Brookes had finished the opening lap in ninth but was making rapid process through the pack; passing Seeley, Rutter and Michael Laverty then closed on Hill. Brookes made his move to put himself ahead and he then closed the gap to Kiyonari. He was soon menacingly shadowing his team-mate and on the final lap a concerted move gave him the lead which he held to the flag. Hill maintained third, despite several attempts from Rutter, whilst Alastair Seeley ended fifth after getting the better of team-mate Laverty.

Race two:

Josh Brookes continued his winning form after scorching to the win, charging through from a slow start to the front and held his position to the end as Michael Rutter and Ryuichi Kiyonari retired. Tommy Hill had led before Rutter hit the front with Kiyonari in third and Brookes down in sixth. Kiyo was soon up to second before he was forced to retire and Brookes was on a charge, passing James Ellison and Michael Laverty. Brookes picked up where Kiyonari had left off and was up to third as he passed Hill, but he returned the pass. Brookes was soon back ahead and Hill lost a further place to Alastair Seeley. Rutter was still leading but was forced to retire. Brookes then held the lead; the battle for second was between Ellison and Seeley in the final laps, but a mistake dropped Seeley to fourth behind Ellison and Hill in second and third. Hill could see the second place and passed. Seeley then pushed Ellison back to fourth.

Race three:

Ryuichi Kiyonari made amends for his retirement in the earlier race by securing victory. James Ellison had taken the lead from Josh Brookes and Alastair Seeley with Kiyonari in fourth, but the Relentless Suzuki rider dropped down the order. Michael Laverty was up to third and made a move on Brookes to move second, but the HM Plant Honda rider regained the position. Kiyonari then fired passed Laverty to put the HM Plant Hondas second and third, until the seventh lap when he made a pass on Brookes. Laverty then passed Ellison to move third with his sights set on Brookes, but the championship leader was forced to retire with a technical problem. Hill was quick to attack Rutter, forcing his way by to move third before passing Laverty for second place. He couldn't quite pass Kiyonari, leaving him to score his fourth win of the season with Hill finishing second to regain his series lead and Michael Laverty returning to the podium in third.
