Snetterton in Norfolk was the venue for rounds 15/16 of the British Touring Car Championship. Dave Allan was away on business in America for Honda so Mark Lemmer had stepped in whilst Dave is unavailable. Hopefully Mark will be driving for Synchro Motorsport for the next three meetings until Dave returns at Silverstone in early September.

This round at Snetterton was the second of the night meetings in the BTCC calendar. All of the racing was scheduled for the Saturday. However there was a mandatory night practice on Friday evening at 10 o'clock. The track was dry and the weather cool. Mark felt comfortable in the car and reported that it was generally good. However, the bias on the rear brakes was too high and this caused him to spin as well as making late braking difficult. He still though managed to finish fifth of the seventeen starters.


Saturday August 3
It was dry and sunny and quite windy for the forty-five minute free practice that started five minutes late at 11.10. The brake pads had been changed to help brake prob. Mark started the session well. By lap 4, he was in fourth place. There was a little concern, though, about the high-speed stability of the car. By the end of the session he had dropped to tenth but had lost over twelve minutes due to a couple of long pit stops caused by a problem with the wheel nuts not releasing.
