A short hop east to the curves of the original Brooklands racetrack — now home to a free-to-enter shrine to German engineering. Glass atriums, classic SLs, Lewis Hamilton's silver arrows, and (if we've booked it right) Haruna or Amina sliding an AMG round a wet skid pan.
Grab something at home or stop in Camberley en route — the food at Mercedes-Benz World is fine but pricey. Better to roll in fed and ready to wander. Aim to leave by 13:00 so we're parked up for 13:35, with time to find the entrance before the 2pm slot.
Three floors of cars: classic SLs and Gullwings on the ground floor, Formula 1 silver arrows upstairs (yes, including Lewis Hamilton's), and an upper gallery of one-off concept cars and motorsport heritage. Free entry, free parking, and the whole thing sits inside the original Brooklands banked racetrack — built in 1907, the world's first purpose-built motor circuit.
If anyone has the appetite for more: the Brooklands Museum next door has Concorde you can walk through, vintage racing cars, WWII aircraft, and the original banked track. Separate entry (£18ish), but a natural extension if Haruna and Amina are loving the day. Skip if anyone's tired — we've earned a quiet evening.
The end of four very full days. If Haruna and Amina fly out Tuesday, this is the goodbye dinner — somewhere good in Bracknell, or back via Windsor for a proper last meal in a riverside pub. Otherwise: home, sofa, kettle, and a long quiet evening looking through 800 photos.
Safe flight home, Haruna and Amina
