Red Bull Formula One boss Christian Horner and his wife, former Spice Girl Geri, will be taking part in this year's London to Brighton Veteran Car Run, which features a new route for 2018.
They'll be aboard Lord (Irvine) Laidlaw’s 1904 Panhard-Levassor – and have already completed a trial run in their 15hp tonneau-bodied steed.
“We had a terrific test drive,” said Christian. “The car was a lot of fun and relatively lively once you’d mastered the basics. We’re now really looking forward to taking part in the Run in November – even if it’s cold and wet that won’t dampen our enthusiasm.”
And Lord Laidlaw is no stranger to having celebrity team-mates on the London to Brighton.
Four years ago, he was joined on his Panhard by Olympic sailing ace Sir Ben Ainslie.
