The 60-mile run is normally participated in for its own reward. But this year it will have what the organisers are calling a Regularity Trial. This demands that entrants maintain a specific average speed over the event, with penalties for arriving at the finish, or at one of the secret intermediate time control points, too early or too late.
Competitors can choose a specific time to aim at: three hours equates to a 20mph average, but they can opt to take four, five or even six hours, with the latter time equating to a 10mph average speed.
The event takes places on Sunday 3 November, and will attract as many as 500 automobiles from the dawn of motoring.
The special weekend now also features the Regent Street Motor Show on Saturday 2 November, which now hosts the world’s premier Concours d’Elegance for veteran cars adding to the wonderfully nostalgic experience for both participants and spectators.
