The event will have its grand opening with the 2013 Chubb Insurance Tour d'Elégance along with the Audemars Piguet Super Car Show.

The 48-km tour will commence from the Royal Automobile Club Woodcote Park in Epsom on September 3 with a stunning collection of 50 cars, worth over £22 million (Rs 224 crore). The cars will travel from the Concours to Mercedes-Benz World in Weybridge, whereupon every machine will do a lap of the circuit.
