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.

  1. I went to a McDonalds in NewDelhi to eat because they had air condition. Me and my friends absolutly freeze blue in there so I went over to a thermometer that hung n the wall. It was bloody 26 degC inside(79F). Not strange since we where aclimatized to 45 degC outside (113F) going on for weeks.
