I did the 4 hour hour session in the SL63

There's no way anything could hold my attention span for 4 hours. Well, perhaps some things :)

Looking at the site again using a different browser I can see many more options!

Really looking forward to the Brooklands museum.

I've done many and still do track days and found the instructors and the whole course absolutely absorbing time flew but I did learn something of use.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the museum, there is a section where they have an enormous structure that was built to replicate extreme wether conditions for aircraft parts I got chatting to one of the guys who had a relative working in it, fascinating chat.

Best thing is, we have childcare arranged so I can take my time looking at stuff :)

I used to know an old bloke who worked for Dowty Rotol, he took me on a tour once when I was sprog.

Friction & induction welding was fascinating but watching the the test rig punish the landing gear really was amazing. I had no idea how tough it was and how difficult is is to break.

I did half hour M class on 4x4 circuit and half hour SL63 AMG. Go for the SL, much better.
I did the skid pan but wish I'd just had 30 mins on the course.
Very enjoyable.
