Peking to Paris:
A Stupendous Challenge
Where no wheels had turned before.
At the foot of the Great Wall, traditional music and dances mark the start of the Peking to Paris. The city fades away and, along roads that sometimes cease to exist, the desert arrives. Aboard cars from another era, the sand brings our protagonists together: they come from different worlds, but they share a great passion and a common purpose.
The journey brings real hardships: sand, heat and mechanical breakdowns. It also brings long nights in tents in the desert, encounters with local people and the wonder of places never seen before.
The finish line is Paris, but the true arrival is what each of them will carry home.
The Peking to Paris Motor Challenge is considered the oldest and most gruelling endurance rally in the world: born from a challenge launched by Le Matin in 1907, it crosses the Gobi, steppes and mountains over some 14,000 km.
