    Auto Italia - Brooklands, Sat. May 4th 2013

    I thought that I should notify you all of this event.

    Italian Car Day

    Who is thinking of attending this year?

    i went years ago. Do they still let you take your car out for a good thrash on a flat open part of the track?

    Remember seeing Coupe 20vTs giving it large plus allsorts of other italian premium stuff.

    You mean Mercedes Benz world? Not actually Brooklands then

    Yes I know they opened that up. The first year they opened it I took my GT round but I thought they stopped it after that. My mistake.

    That looks like the most pointless track driving ever?

    That looks like the Mercedes demo track.

    100% don't let people race on the Brooklands track, only about 200m of it left.
