For the first time in its 122-year history, participants on the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run will take two routes out the capital.
The aim is to ease traffic woes for both crews and spectators and, as a bonus, bring the iconic event to more people.
After following the usual route from Hyde Park to Hyde Park Corner, via the Wellington Arch, then down Constitution Hill and past Buckingham Palace before driving up The Mall to Parliament Square, there will be a split.
This year, only half the London to Brighton crews will pass over Westminster Bridge
Half the pre-1905-car field will take the well-trodden path past Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster, crossing the Thames on Westminster Bridge, before heading to Streatham and Thornton Heath.
The second route will pass a different famous landmark, Westminster Abbey, then drive over Lambeth Bridge and head towards Vauxhall, Tooting and Mitcham.
All participants will be reunited when the two routes converge near Croydon.
Thereafter, it's the familiar journey taking in Purley, Coulsdon, Hooley, Redhill and Crawley, before crossing the South Downs and descending into Brighton.
It is hoped that the new initiative will ease congestion
