RE: Sunday Service returns to Mercedes-Benz World

[Jon_Bmw]

Is there any chance of the skidpan being opened up like previous years? Perhaps there is some nervousness about sanitising etc.

There was something extremely relaxing about being on the lockstops at 1200rpm in an AMG E class with a billion HP.

I'm pretty sure it is open – as this is the reason why we've moved locations for parking. We used to use the dynamic straight for parking, but as this interferes with skid pan operation, we've moved to the railway straight.

Looking on their website, you can book experiences that have the skid pan as part of them

Ah, so we are now on the yellow concrete/slightly un-made section at the back?

You will make it, usually a fair few drop out (and update the list, but not all do!).

Your car is one of those I'd specifically like to have a look around too.

Cheers, place 402 now

Your very welcome to have a look, I am very much looking foward to meeting PHers!

When I last went, PH had arranged something with MBW and you paid either £10 or £20 on the day and you got 5 ish minutes on there. It used MBW cars, two e classes iirc. It was good, but probably a right pain to organise!!

I guess you'd hired a couple of cars and a 2/3 instructors for the morning and we paid you, who paid them sort of thing

I think there was a similar thing happening on the mini track they had there where you could take out a C class AMG with an instructor sat next to you. That was more money (understandably!).

I've only ever been to one Sunday Service and it was at MBW. Six years ago? Jaysus.

I'm surprised this isn't more popular. I went to the last one and it was a great day out.

I assume Mother's day has something to do with it.

It's almost full within 24 hours, so I'll take that as popular!

well that sucks....code doesn't work

The discount code isn't valid until the day of the event for future bookings – however if you're wanting to book an experience for the day of the event, then let me go back and ask if the can open up the code to work now.

I was just referring to how they used to be filled up within minutes, but I suppose they used to come out on a set day and people knew about them.

Yippee.

I wouldn’t worry. I’ve often seen a good 150-250 drop out by the night before the event.

[SydneyBridge]

There are tons of other places to park at MBW if not on the PH list

Although a big mini event on at brooklands so might be slightly more limited.

I've seen 300. No 400. In the real world maybe 50 if it was somewhere outdoorsy and the weather turned to st.

Just posting my experience from attending many of these, no need to get defensive. I’ve been 700+ before for a 500 cap event and have gotten in on the Saturday night. People often reserve a place but then can’t make it.

I'm just hoping that 65 people who don't come actually remove their name from the list so that I can get a PH pass to enter the event.

Hi Ben, did you manage to get an answer on this matter?
