Easter Sunday Monopoly Run to visit Mercedes World at the famous Brooklands Test Track and Motor Museum
Mercedes world is the Pride of MB UK, a huge three story building brimmed with the latest models and exhibits, a test track, Café, boutique and free entry!
The day has essentially 3 parts:
The Monopoly Run: James Huggins has some fab plans for the run down; he is going to take in some of the London sights (No congestion charges on a Sunday! Sorry Boris) as well as some of the famous landmarks from the Monopoly game, the start arrangements are yet to be finalized but expect to be meeting around the Chelmsford area at around 8:00am.
Mercedes World: The description from their web site: “As the flagship of Mercedes-Benz in the UK, and located on the famous Brooklands site, Mercedes-Benz World is a memorable day out for any motoring fan.
Not only can you get hands-on with all our cars; you can take the opportunity to test drive the latest models around the handling circuit, or put both the car and your driving skills to the test with one of our various Driving Experiences.
And although driving is our first passion, it’s not all we have to offer. Inside, you can take a walk around the exhibitions and get up close to the famous Gullwing and Maybach. In the cinema, you can learn about the history of the Mercedes-Benz brand; and in the simulator you’ll be transported down a production line.
Because all this can work up quite an appetite, our Café 1886 and Gullwing Restaurant offer a range of food and drinks, from light bites and sandwiches to three-course dining with trackside views.”
