I recently went back to work for the Mercedes Benz Ipswich dealership and as is the norm had an introduction day, but was fortunate to have it at MB world at the Brooklands site.

A few phone pics of the various cars that are housed there..

I've never been a great fan of Mercs but that place looks amazing. I wonder how long it took to do that F1 car?

Dan, Yes I am. I wish I could have taken more pics of some of the stuff I did on the course but it was impossible due to being thrown about all over the place.
Imagine driving up and down a very steep escalator at speed and that wasn't half of it.

The F1 car must have taken an age to do as everything just lines up perfectly.

I've done many similar days out at Silverstone, Millbrook (many times), Ascari etc etc but today was the only day when the instructors actually took stock of ones driving ability and then just let me and others hoon the cars around to our hearts content.
