F1 just exploded

After my photography course I had one more photo I wanted to get. Next door to Brooklands is Mercedes World, a three storey showroom for the three pointed star as well as a small collection of classic and racing Mercs. The centre piece of the Formula One display is “View Suspended II” a vast forest of thin wires suspending over 3000 pieces of one of the Mercedes GP cars. Like a massive real life Haynes manual the inner workings of the 200mph racing car is laid bare. It is awesome.

After lots of superglue has been used it was back to normal again!

I’m not sure how long the display is on for, but if you’re into F1 and the engineering side of things, then get along there. Its free to get in and will keep you busy for a couple of hours, you can even watch the loons throwing AMGs around on the skid pan as well!.
