BMW Sauber F1 at Trafford Centre
Just got back from the Trafford Centre with a great big grin on my face. If you are a “Petrol Head” you will enjoy it.
The BMW Sauber F1 Team Pit Lane Park is there. Had an excellent few hours. Everything is free. You get a Pit Lane pass for around your neck when you go in, which is yours to keep. Free earplugs in a little presentation box . Free picture taken sat on a BMW F1 car. Loads of games , computer and video, sat in mock up cars or vibrating games seats. Have a go at refuelling, have a go against the clock at changing a wheel. The highlight is of course the F1 car flexing it’s muscles on a short 100m track. Not a lot of room to play with 750 -800 hp under your toe. Doughnuts galore, burning rubber filling the air…excellent stuff to say that it is all for free. ( todays driver was Augusto Farfus ) Warning. If you take a child under the age of 12 months they will advise you to leave the complex with the child when the F1 car starts up. Even if the child is wearing ear protection. It’s a really professional set up, absolutely loads of staff to help or advise you. I took 2 pics then my camera batteries failed  , it was just a car in a garage I got shots of. A bloke did say he would forward some of his pics to my e-mail addy, if he does I will attempt to post them.Contemplating going back for another peep
