Future cars, bikes, vans and trucks will once again be on display on the iconic sea-front strip (traditionally the finish line of Veteran Car Run) before being waved off by Eddie Irvine on their way to London's Hyde Park.


Until the 1980's, Madeira Drive was also the venue for the legendary Brighton Speed Trials, frequented by the likes of Eco-Rally guest driver, Roger Saul.
