Mercedes-Benz brand ambassadors from the German world championship national squad and from the world of golf as well as former racing drivers will be among the invited guests.
Admission is free for all visitors. The programme on offer will include pit stop competitions, plus autograph and interview sessions. Demo runs featuring current Formula 1 and DTM racing cars, as well as classic racing cars that have featured in the 120-year motor racing history of Mercedes-Benz will be also among the many highlights of the day.
