Located at the world-famous Brooklands circuit, the birthplace of British Motorsport and aviation, Mercedes-Benz World is celebrating its first birthday in style with a series of special events and everyone is invited to join in the celebrations.
To mark the occasion, on Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th November, Mercedes-Benz World will be holding a weekend long birthday party; guests will have the chance to enter a free prize draw to win exclusive driving experiences, and as you’d expect, there will be plenty of birthday cake.
Lucky winners will receive the chance to ride with the Silver Arrows AMG Display Team as they take to the handling circuits or enjoy a passenger ride in the fantastic Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
The Silver Arrows is a unique team of professional drivers with unsurpassed experience of sideways driving and ‘pirouetting’, thus providing a dazzling display of driving acrobatics and ‘Autotainment’ so if you don’t’ win, you will still enjoy the show they have to offer. .
Racing legend Sir Stirling Moss will also be visiting Mercedes-Benz World on Saturday 3rd November meeting fans and signing autographs.
Mercedes Benz World has achieved everything they set out to since those lovely glass doors opened on 26th October 2006, and these birthday celebrations are a way to say thank you to the 306,698 guests who have visited MB World plus encourage more to experience this extraordinary venue.
Passenger rides in the impressive AMG and 4MATIC off-road vehicles will also be available on both days, at the special rate of £15
The history of Mercedes-Benz and Brooklands will be brought to life for younger visitors by the Mercedes-Benz World Streetmosphere characters: TED the crash test dummy; and eccentric inventor Otto Von Liebich, guaranteed to entertain and educate.
Mercedes-Benz World was never designed simply for petrolheads. Their concept was to encourage the whole family to come along and experience the brand. Well they have certainly done that exceeding the 300,000 visitors they initially wanted to see in the first twelve months.
That’s just the adults. Over 11,212 children have received a unique motoring education from the Stars Driving Club with highly-trained driving instructors, aiming to heighten awareness of safer driving amongst young people before they even take their driving test. What a coo factor, their first ever-driving lesson in a Mercedes A-class on the original Brooklands track. Priceless.
MB World has also notched up 28,700 conferences and hosted 750 events including the glamorous Auto Car awards
But it’s the cars that are the real stars here with every make and model of the Mercedes Benz range on show over three levels. Visitors are made to feel really welcome, freely allowed to get in and out of the cars, as are the children but the best part of all, is the salesmen are locked away only coming our if a customer specially requests one.
Further entertainment is provided by ‘Build’ - a 3D simulator ride which takes you along the production line of a Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class; ‘Solve’ - an interactive problem-solving laboratory; ‘Watch’ - a state-of-the-art theatre which starts visitors off on their journey of discovery with fascinating stories of Mercedes-Benz and how it has always led the way at the cutting edge of motoring and motor racing history.
So make a date in your diary and come to sunny Surrey for the best birthday party in town.
