Sir Stirling Moss and Lewis Hamilton to appear at ‘The Double Twelve’
Lewis Hamilton and Sir Stirling Moss will be making driving appearances at this year’s Brooklands Motoring Festival.
‘The Double Twelve’ festival takes place on June 28th to 29th in Weybridge and will feature the two racing drivers as well as a display from the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows Display Team.
"Brooklands was the birthplace of circuit motor-racing as we know it today and witnessed countless world records being made after its opening in 1907," said Peter O’Halloran, managing director of Mercedes-Benz World.
"It was therefore extremely fitting for us to welcome key figures on the current circuit such as Lewis Hamilton and racing legend Sir Stirling Moss," he added.
The main event of the occasion is ‘The Double Twelve’ - a series of driving tests which will be judged by a select panel of experts.
Modern handling circuits and the notorious Test Hill will be taken on by competitors as they drive some of the best cars from the 20th Century.
"The battle for the Double Twelve trophies will take into account beauty, preparation and condition as well as performance and driving skill. It is this combination of disciplines which will make the event exciting for competitors and spectators alike," said Allan Winn, director of the Brooklands Museum.
