The first runs start at 9.30 with the last run at expected to finish at approximately 5pm.
Spectator entry is £8 for adults with children under 10 free. Car parking is free.
The event takes place up Staple Lane, in the Surrey Hills near Guildford. The lane is a public road which, which will be closed to all other traffic. The course runs from close to the junction of Staple Lane with the A246 to the summit of the hill with the paddock located at the base of the hill.
The course ascends by 300 feet over a distance of nearly a mile with a series of challenging corners along the route. There are panoramic views across the Surrey countryside, London and the Wembley Arch can be seen in the distance.
Last year there were 125 cars entered, in 2014 there will be 135, representing an amazing cross section of motoring history from the early days of motoring right up to a few modern exotics. Each car will complete three runs starting at 9.30am and finishing at around 5.00pm.
There are many improvements for 2014 including viewing on both sides of the course with the hedge cut low, the course will be longer and there's a much improved paddock and showground area.
