While the museum itself has previously been covered – for those with physical copies or a digital subscription, look back to Alexa Kellow's review from 6 July 2023 - there is only one note that can be added for those with younger children. This surrounds the 'Starting Grid' as you begin your journey.
The room is spacious enough but the sound is extremely loud for small ears, something that those working there were clearly cautious of with a side door for a quick exit highlighted before the show began.
As nothing appeared to have changed inside for the event, we will turn our attention to the tour without further ado.
Possibly because our attendance came on a Friday afternoon when many will have been working and children will have been at school, the number of attendees on the tour that this writer attended was on the low side.
This did, however, have its positive side as it meant that the back bench of the coach could be claimed by a rather energetic three-year-old, enabling her to have clear views of wherever there was something interesting to see around the track.
On other busier days, this would not be possible, as children under five years old are not counted in the capacity numbers, meaning they should sit on a parent or carer's lap.
The tour itself is a fascinating experience with facts about your surroundings being shared on an endless reel. Yes, motorsport fans are likely to be familiar with many of the things that are shared, but this is referenced in some of the commentaries, with nods and winks to some of the more controversial events from recent F1 visits to the venue.
