Mercedes-Benz has celebrated recent success with a free event it held.

More than 15,000 attendees turned up at the Brooklands tracks for the occasion, hosted by Mercedes-Benz World.

Lewis Hamilton – the Formula 1 winner for last year – was present with Heikki Kovalainen to give spectators a taste of their skills behind the wheel. Finding some Mercedes spares could have been necessary after Hamilton was said to perform ‘doughnuts’ on the track.

He said of the event: "The track here is so much fun. I cannot believe how many people turned up here, but every time we have an amazing turn-out and put an incredible show on for everyone."

The facility hosts exhibits, interactive activities and simulator rides for visitors to make use of.

Guests also have the opportunity to drive a Mercedes-Benz around the circuit of the track, or take the car off-road across ten acres of terrain.

This year Mercedes-Benz also claimed the title of London Fashion Week’s official car.
