Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen will drive Vodafone McLaren Mercedes Formula One cars at the Brooklands Motoring Festival this June.

Taking place on June 28th and 29th, the festival will see the drivers make several appearances in the car as they demonstrate their talents on the handling circuits at Mercedes-Benz World.

In a warm up to the British Grand Prix the following weekend, Hamilton said the event was a great chance to appreciate the "support of your home crowd".

Kovalainen is delighted to be taking part in the event at what he described as the "birthplace of motor-racing".

"It is the opportunity of a lifetime to follow in the footsteps of many racing legends where so many records were made and broken," he explained.

Along with the Formula One cars, the weekend has plenty of other attractions including performances from the Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows Display Team and a Blue Eagles Helicopter Display.

Another main event is the prestigious Double Twelve competition which sees competitors challenge their cars in a number of driving tests.
