Supercars spotted in Weybridge for new TV show

The brightly coloured array gathered to stunned onlookers outside the Brooklands Hotel and nearby Mercedes-Benz World on Friday (April 9).

They were there during the filming for a new TV show called "Spotting London’s Supercars" due to air on Freeview, Freesat and Sky later this year.

The cars, worth millions of pounds combined, were all reportedly lining up for the start of The Cannon Run, part organised driving holiday, part rally, that guides participants in a tour across England.

Harry Rutter, show director of Make UK TV who are producing the TV show, thanked the hotel for hosting them and described measures taken by the crew to minimise Covid-19 transmission risks.

"The Brooklands Hotel was absolutely fantastic; the sun was shining and it proved to be the perfect location for the rally start line," he said.

"This was a COVID-safe shoot across three days and everyone involved tested negative for coronavirus.

"The group stayed bubbled up throughout filming and when in a public environment were asked to wear PPE and remain in groups of six while socially distancing.

"Local police were also on site to ensure everything was following the rules and everyone stayed safe just days before coronavirus restrictions were further lifted," Rutter added.

The hour-long special programme airs on Sky channel 365, Freesat channel 516, Connected Freeview channel 264 and online via Spotlight TV this summer.
