Another PistonHeads sunday services (large group of nice cars park up at a big car park somewhere on a sunday morning for a chat and breakfast) is on it’s way and this time PH has this time we’ve got a nice venue : Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands in Surrey.
*Yes, it’s time for another PH Sunday Service and this time we are heading to the fantastically weather-friendly Merecedes-Benz World at Brooklands on Sunday 23rd August.
For those who haven’t yet visited Mercedes-Benz World, it is a brand centre designed over three floors showcasing all Mercedes-Benz models, from the SLR McLaren and iconic classics from over a century of the pioneering car maker, such as the legendary 1950’s 300SL Gullwing.
In addition you can watch the Mercedes-Benz film in the cinema and experience other attractions such as the simulator and Motor Sport exhibition that features a 1930’s Grand Prix car next to Lewis Hamilton’s 2007 racing car.
With the option of a cafe and a restaurant there are plenty of options for refreshment during the morning, and we will not be limited by the weather as there is plenty of space to shelter inside.
M-B has also allocated us our own private PH parking area to the right of the building (as you approach), so look out for the PH signs as you enter that will point you in the right direction.
At 12pm the Silver Arrows Display Team will perform driving demonstrations on the tracks and wet skid circle in the latest AMG cars, and there is also the chance to take a passenger ride for just £10.
At 1pm the European Grand Prix from Valencia will be shown on the big screen on the ground floor of the venue.
As usual we’ll kick things off from 09.00 and we’ll run through to the end of the Grand Prix.
We look forward to seeing you there and thanks to Mercedes-Benz for hosting us. *
