Win An SLS AMG Drive With M-B and Playstation

Enter PH's exclusive comp to win a GT5 night at M-B World, plus a 'real' SLS Driving Experience for the fastest gamer on the night!



Occasionally PH offers competition prizes that are so barnstormingly good, we can’t quite believe it ourselves. Like this one, courtesy of the folks at Mercedes-Benz...

As a PHer, we reckon there's a good chance you've enjoyed Gran Turismo on the PlayStation. And even if you're not a hardcore ‘gamer’, you'd probably make an exception to the rule and spend some time with the very best driving game available on the PlayStation console. After all, who wouldn't enjoy driving their dream machines around the world’s most famous circuits, revelling in the stunning graphics and sense of reality offered by the game’s creators?

The latest GT5 edition launch is almost upon us, and Sony has teamed up with Mercedes-Benz to make the new SLS AMG supercar the star car of the new game.

To celebrate, we're offering you (yes, you!), the chance to join a lucky band of 30 PHers for an exclusive GT5 preview evening at Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge, Surrey.

At 18.00 on Thursday 27th May, M-B World will shut its doors to the general public, but will re-open them at 18.30 to allow our winners inside for an exclusive evening in the company of Mercedes-Benz UK and the PistonHeads team.


Four specially built PS3 pods, featuring a genuine SLS AMG driving seat, will be set up within the Brooklands facility. These pods will have unreleased and unseen versions of the Nürburgring as it will be featured on GT5, and waiting on the start line will be the fabulous SLS AMG. This exclusive version of the game has not been released in the UK and the 30 PHers who attend will be the very first people in the UK to experience the new circuit and ‘drive’ the GT5 version of the SLS AMG.

As if being among the first group of people to play the new game wasn’t enough, you will also be able to enjoy other amazing experiences on the night - including:

  • Exclusive access to Mercedes-Benz World once the doors have been closed to the public. This means you can view all the cars and attractions at your leisure, you can ask Mercedes-Benz World staff all the questions you like, and you can enjoy the additional interactive experiences and exhibitions.
  • First-class catering, supplied by on-site caterers, Absolute Taste, who also provide the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes F1 team. Produce will include items from Laverstoke Park Farm, the biodynamic farm owned and run by 1979 F1 World Champion – and now award-winning farmer – Jody Scheckter.
  • Fun on the 10-acre permanent off-road course in Mercedes-Benz 4x4 vehicles will be offered throughout the evening.


In addition to this, for the fastest GT5 PHer there will be a single 'top prize' of an SLS AMG Driving Experience at Mercedes-Benz World where you will be one of the first to get behind the wheel of this super-sports car on the purpose built Handling Circuits at Mercedes-Benz World.

There are 30 places available for this fantastic evening, to be held on the 27th May. The evening will start at 18.30 and will finish at approximately 21.30 and you will need to be able to get yourself to Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge in good time for the start of proceedings.

To enter this competition, please email us at Mercedes-BenzSLSAMG@pistonheads.comwith ‘GT5 Evening’ in the subject line. Please tell us your name, mobile telephone number and what car you drive, along with a few words as to why you think you should be chosen to win this great prize.

The closing date for entries is Thursday 20th May at 12.00.

The PH team offers its thanks to all at Mercedes-Benz for making this happen.

1 - By entering this competition, participants agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set out below. 2 - Travel to and from Mercedes-Benz World are not included in the prize package. 3 - The closing date for entry will be 12.00 on 20/05/10, when the draw will also take place. 4 - To qualify to enter the competition you must be resident in the United Kingdom and be 18 years old or over. 5 - The prize is not transferable and cannot be substituted for a cash alternative.

I hate competitions that ask this. 'Because I'm sad enough to really enjoy racing games and want to drive a fast car round a track'... but I guess that's not they're after!

Just a simple draw the name from the hat would do the trick

Sorry, we'll try harder on our free comps from now on wink

Seriously, write what you like. No need for War & Peace but it helps us to to measure enthusiasm for the prize, that's all and there is certainly no hidden agenda.

What a gap between the vintage track and all these video games...
No nostalgia anymore.
Everything virtual, what a pity. (and for most, so is the prize!)
