This event is taking part at Brooklands next Sunday (8th November) and will see the following:
A star-studded cast of Formula 1 drivers – including 2008 World Champion Lewis Hamilton – will headline the first-ever Powered by Mercedes-Benz Live event at Mercedes-Benz World, on 8th November.
Powered by Mercedes-Benz Live will offer fans the chance to meet Lewis Hamilton, his team-mate Heikki Kovalainen, double World Champion Mika Häkkinen, David Coulthard and Formula 1 team boss Ross Brawn. Formula 1 drivers Pedro de la Rosa and Anthony Davidson, as well as a host of Mercedes-Benz Touring car and Formula 3 drivers, will also be in attendance.
The whole event, held at the legendary Brooklands circuit will be open free to the public.
Highlights of the day include Lewis driving his MP4-23 – the car in which he memorably won the 2008 Formula 1 Drivers’ World Championship. Ross Brawn will also be on hand to showcase his team’s groundbreaking debut Brawn Mercedes BGP 001, driven by Radio 5 Live commentator and Brawn GP test driver, Anthony Davidson.
The British DTM drivers Susie Stoddart, Jamie Green, Paul Di Resta and Gary Paffett will attend and demonstrate what makes this touring car series one of the most exciting in the world, with their 500hp V8 AMG Mercedes C-Classes pounding around the circuit at Mercedes-Benz World. Like all the drivers in attendance, they will sign autographs and spend as much time with fans as possible.
Formula 3 Euro Series hotshot Sam Bird returns to Brooklands to demonstrate his Dallara Mercedes, and in the coming weeks even more will be added to an action-packed line-up.
Anyone else going to be going to the event? I have a ticket (well, technically I think it is 4 but that is part of their stuff as entry was free).
