MSV has announced the corner names for the heavily revised Snetterton circuit after receiv✨ing more than 2,000 fan suggestions.

The track, which will be known as Snetterton 300 owing to its length being extended to 2.99km, had just six corners in its previous configuration, but thiꦰs has now been doubled to 12, as well as the two straights (Bentley, which is the new name for the Revett straight, and Senna straight).

The first bend remains unchanged as Riches, but the second corner - formerly known as Sear - is now Montreal, a right-handed hairpin that ap✅es a similar bend on the Gilles Villeneueve circuit in Canada and leads into the new section of the cir🌳cuit.

Palmer, Agostini, Hamilton, Oggies and Williams, which mark out the section, have been named after individuals that have been closely asಌsociated with Snetterton in the past - MSV owner Jonathan Palmer, motorcycling legend Giacomo Agostini, F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton, ꦦMSV co-founder Sir Peter Ogden and multiple F1 title-winning team owner Frank Williams.

Joining the Bentley straight -𝕴 a nod to the manufacturer that used Snetterton to develop its 2002 Le Mans 24hr winning Speed 8 - and coming under the bridge, the Esses is now named (Martin) Brundle and (Norfolk Admiral) Nelson, leading into the Bombhole and then Coram, two bends that remain unchanged.

Thꦆe final corner chicane will now be known as Murrays - a tribute to the memorable commentator Murray Walker.

Two short circuit configurations 🐻will also include the corner names of Lotus 🃏founder (Colin) Chapman - which links Montreal with the Bentley straight as per the former layout -, while the (Ralph) Firman hairpin will be used for when just the short circuit between Palmer and Oggies is used.

"This is an extremely important time for Snetterton, and I'm ❀delighted not only with what we have achieved but also with the volume of glowing tributes we have already received," said Palmer.

"When we started the process we invited people to contribute to the naming of the new corne💙rs, and our web campaign received a phenomenal response. Fortunately there were some pretty dominant names and suggestions, many of which have b🌱een incorporated with my own views.

"It wa🏅s important to select th🌳e most appropriate corner for each person however, and I am delighted that that each famous name fits with the character and nature of their corner - like Agostini, one of the best motorcycle racing overtaking corners, or Murrays, which will see an enormous amount of drama and is just the place where Murray's excited commentary would be in its element.

"When we embarked upon this project we wanted to completely transform Snetterton and give pride to competitors, spectators, fans and local residents alike, and I believe the announcement of such superb names for the new Snetterton circuit featꩲures w🐠ill play an important part in achieving this."

Snetterton 300 will host its 🍨round of the 2011 British Superbike Championship on 1-3 Ju🌳ly.
