The Mission


The Peking to Paris Rally is a recreation of the 1907 challenge issued by Le Matin, "Is there anyone who will undertake to travel this summer from Peking to Paris by automobile?"
The 2016 version will follow a route of 13,695 Km (8,510 miles) and take 35 days. We are travelling in Rhubarb and Custard, a 1936 Buick. We know nothing about cars or rallying.

Today for the first time a results board was posted. Car 30 lies 31st which we are told is good work.

Six cars arrived in Ulaan Bataar on flat bed trucks and the Volvo Amazon rolled over in the desert and has a stoved in roof and missing rear window. They are still in 6th place!
