Highlights included brushing shoulders with Lewis Hamilton, David Coulthard, Mika Hakkinen, Heikki Kovalainen and Ross Brawn plus some familiar faces on the presenter front. For those who haven&#8217;t heard an F1 car before and even those that have, the sound was phenomenal being just feet away from the track. F1 cars included Mclaren Mercedes with Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen show boating  with donuts, burn outs, drifting on the wet circle by Lewis and general crowd pleasing. The Brawn F1 cars made an appearance on the track but no Button present, however Hamilton did note he wouldn&#8217;t mind having him as a team mate at Mclaren next year. The Mercedes DTM car weighing in at just over a ton with 500 bhp was a fire spitting monster! The sound made the F1 pace car seem like an SL350 in comparison. A fantastic day out and all free to the public if they made their registrations on the Mercedes-Benz World website within four days of the event being announced.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-touring-car.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz Touring Car\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/f1-pace-car.jpg\" alt=\"F1 Pace Car\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-world.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz-World\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-300sl.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz-300SL\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/silver-arrows.jpg\" alt=\"Silver Arrows\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/ross-brawn-by-300sl.jpg\" alt=\"Ross Brawn Gullwing\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-300sl-brooklands.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz 300SL Collection\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mclaren-f1-brooklands.jpg\" alt=\"Mclaren F1 Brooklands\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/david-coulthard.jpg\" alt=\"David Coulthard\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mika-hakkinen.jpg\" alt=\"Mika Hakkinen\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mclaren-f1-brooklands.jpg\" alt=\"McLaren F1 Brooklands\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/lewis-hamilton-interview.jpg\" alt=\"Lewis Hamilton Interview\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-sl65-amg-black-series.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-slr-stirling-moss.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz SL65 SLR Stirling Moss\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/heikki-kovalainen-interview.jpg\" alt=\"Heikki Kovalainen Interview\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/mercedes-benz-slr-722.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes-Benz SLR 722\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/gullwing.jpg\" alt=\"Mercedes Gullwing\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/brabus-bullit.jpg\" alt=\"Brabus Bullit\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/fastgerman.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/brawn-f1.jpg\" alt=\"Brawn F1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Z978xNlf07A&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/Z978xNlf07A&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowScriptAccess=\"always\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powered by Mercedes-Benz Live, the Brooklands brand experience center hosted the End of Season Grand Prix Event on Sunday 8th November 2009.
