Brooklands in Surrey was the first purpose built racetrack for cars and the first aerodrome in the United Kingdom. Opened in 1907 the last race took place in 1939, presumably because of the outbreak of war. Part of the old banked racetrack still exists and Brooklands is still the home of a museum displaying cars and aircraft from early days until quite recently. It is also the home of Mercedes in the UK. It is its Darlek like showroom and musem that can be seen in this panorama which also features Lewis Hamilton driving a smart car sports model and politely stopping to allow me to make this panorama
