Today I went for my birthday present, a fifteen minute ride in a C63 driven around their track by an MB World Stig.
We started on the short track which showed just how much grip there is available. We then went onto the long track, with plenty of 'express train in the back' acceleration and heavy braking. Onto the slalom area, and the quick steering made it look easy
. The 0-70-0 demonstration was extremely impressive, particularly the stopping power available. Then onto the wet bits, where Stig demonstrated just how good ESP is before switching it off with predictable results
A very enjoyable afternoon, combined with a look around MB World itself.
BTW, the track cars get 6 mpg.
