Wyler Genève is proud to be the official timing partner of the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, which celebrates the enduring legacy of the world’s automotive pioneers. The run was first staged in 1896 to celebrate the passing into law of the Light Locomotives Act, which raised the speed limit for cars from 4mph to 14mph and abolished the requirement for a vehicle to be preceded by a man on foot waving a red flag. Held annually on the first weekend in November, it is the world’s longest running motoring event, open to all four-wheeled cars, tricars and motor tricycles manufactured prior to 1 January 1905. Over 500 such vehicles, covering over 140 different makes of car, tackle the 60-mile route from London’s Hyde Park to Brighton’s seafront promenade.
