He finished nineteenth with fourteen point-scoring finishes and six retirements.[1] Snegirev remained in the series for 2008, improving to eleventh place in the championship and was running at the finish of each race.[2] His best result was sixth place at Donington.
In 2009 Snegirev returned to the series, participating in the final round at Snetterton, scoring five points in his only race,[3] failing to start in another two races. Snegirev made another return to the series in 2010, contesting the last two weekends of the season at Croft and Silverstone. He won a race at Croft and took two podiums at Silverstone.

He remained in the series in 2010, but switched to the Championship Class and Fortec Motorsport.[6] Despite his Formula Two involvement Snegirev returned to the series in 2011, competing at Brands Hatch, Donington Park and Silverstone.[7]
Formula Two
In 2011, Snegirev made his Formula Two debut.[8] He had three point-scoring finishes in sixteen races, and finished eighteenth in the championship.[9] After missing the first round of the 2012 season at Silverstone due to Auto GP commitments, he returned to the series for the remainder of the season.[10]
