is the test hill like a hill climb? is it a casual cruise, is it a race?

It's just a bloody big hill you have to try and get to the top of. Go on youtube and type brooklands test hill. Theirs loads of videos. They you will be able to see for your self.

Australian Grand Prix is live on BBC at 6am-9am and Mercedes-Benz World normally opens at 10am so can't see them opening that early to show it 'live' on their big screen as stated?

brooklands gates don't open until 09.00 so in theory if you are local enough you can watch the GP and then head off to brooklands..hehehehe.....

There are normally people at MBW 24/7. I know some of the instructors get there allot earlier than they open, so i can see them opening early to show it live. But, there isnt really anywhere for people to sit down and watch it properly.

There is a small cinema at MBW upstairs which they could use for F1 Live........it is normally showing archive films about Mercedes history for visitors.
Maybe give them a call/email below to check?

Yes, just pay on the gate, normally a long line of Mini's queuing down the access road!

Access to the Museum site for Minis is via our Campbell Gate off Brooklands Road (the B374). All other vehicle parking is in The Heights off Wellington Way or our usual car park at Mercedes-Benz World.
