Mercedes-Benz Driving Experience 2016 (MBDE2016)

[SUV-Lover]

I received CnC invitation to sign-up for MBDE 2016.

Is a half day event. May I ask if anyone done this before? Worth going?

 

Cheers.

Go for it! Worth every penny to know what your Merc can do in extreme motoring....it may just save your life one day.

Yes, go for it. It is a fun event. I've attended one in Sepang track. Driving the C63s is such an exhilarating experience! Don't pay for it if you can. Mine was sponsored by C&C.

I suppose one gets invited to an event like this?

If my car isn't here yet, they won't send such a letter? 

 

Thanks

IMHO It's worth every cent!

A MUST GO for the 1st timer!

Thanks Seniors for "MUST GO" recommendation.

Anyone else ?

You can still email C&C, event is open to the public. It's not an exclusive invite only event.

Driving the A45 on the performance handling course was the best!

Disappointing MBDE this time. Previous ones were a lot better....but that's another discussion.

What was the main disappointing difference for you?

Firstly, the location is not ideal for this kind of exercise. Previous location at Changi Air Exhibition was 10x bigger, the cars can be pushed to higher speeds of 70-80km/h for more realistic emergency braking & maneuvers. 2nd, it used to be the whole day event..... from 9am -5pm, more stations to cover & the highlight was the timed slalom test of the all the combined stations that became a  test circuit. Lastly, the taxi ride with the chief instructor Peter Hackett in a AMG was more fun....with drifting & 'donuts' all thrown in.

@jtang I was there for the 2012 episode. You're right on all counts. Probably a venue problem that led to this reduced experience.

[kellenerd]

My first time experiencing such event but the lao jiao were saying this was disappointing.

A45 was the best car for the driving experience, sentiment shared by most guys in my group but the ladies in my group seem to favour SLC.
