The 8th Peking to Paris
28 May - 3 July 2022
The Greatest Motoring Adventure – Peking to Paris 2022
The Peking to Paris Motor Challenge is unique in the motoring world – a true endurance motor rally following in the wheel-tracks of the original pioneers of 1907. Driving an old car nearly halfway around the world with a bunch of like-minded enthusiasts, against the clock, with the added spice of timed sections, makes Peking to Paris the longest and toughest driving challenge for Vintage and Classic cars.
Who can participate?
The event route is challenging, and for this reason, we welcome only experienced crews and crews who are prepared to compete in other ERA events prior to tackling the Peking to Paris. You will need a sense of adventure and be prepared to spend nights under canvas in the deserts of Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The ability to carry out regular maintenance on your own car is essential. Average daily distances are around 400 kilometres but, on occasion, they can be as much as 650 kilometres – it is an endurance event after all.
There will be three main categories:
A – Pioneer up to December 1920
B – Vintage & Vintageant from January 1921 up to December 1947
C – Classic from January 1948 to December 1975
Some categories may be subdivided into classes based on engine size

Peking to Paris 2022 – What you need to know
Is my vehicle Eligible?
The event is open for Vintageant cars built before 1948 and for Classic cars of a type built before 1976. Classes based on engine size will subdivide these categories.
Can anyone enter?
The event route is challenging, and for this reason we welcome only experienced crews and crews who are prepared to compete in other ERA events prior to tackling the Peking to Paris. You will need a sense of adventure and be prepared to spend nights under canvas in the deserts of Mongolia and Kazakhstan. The ability to carry out regular maintenance on your own car is essential. Average daily distances are around 400 kilometres but, on occasion, they can be as much as 650 kilometres – it is an endurance event after all.
What if my car Breaks down?
We expect you to carry spares for your car and a tool kit. You should be able to take care of minor repairs yourself, but our mobile support vehicles will follow the rally and our highly skilled mechanics will provide all the extra support you need.
The vast experience of our sweeps will keep you on the road; just make sure you bring the right spares for your car.
Car Shipping
You may use any shipping agent you chose, but we recommend CARS Europe who have handled our shipping for nearly 20 years. CARS can efficiently transport your car to the rally start and then back home; they handle all customs and import operations so your car will be ready for collection in a specified location in Lima. You can contact Melvyn Palmer [email protected] for a free quotation.
Do I Require A Carnet De Passage?
At the time of printing this Guide, there is no need for a Carnet to enter the countries visited by the rally. Any requirements on this regard will need to be confirmed by the participants with the shipper of their car, closer to the date.
Do I Need Fiva Papers For My Car?
Yes. The event will run under the FIVA Events Code and entrants will be required to apply for a FIVA ID Card.
Vehicle Insurance
Vehicle insurance is not included so you will need to make your own arrangements. For your motor insurance requirements one of our partners Hero Insurance Solutions will be able to assist in providing compulsory third-party motor cover and vehicle physical damage cover. Please email
[email protected] or please contact Andrew Scannell on +44 (0)203 178 3327
Travel and Medical Cover
A fully qualified medical team will follow the Rally from start to the finish. The medical team will also support your preparation with a list of medications you should bring and a comprehensive first aid kit can be purchased in advance from the Rally Doctors.
We request that all participants arrange personal travel insurance including medical emergency repatriation.
What else do I need to know?
Further information about any documentation, visa requirements, equipment, suitable clothing and travel essentials, weather, currency, fuel availability, accommodation, travel advice and everything else to help you plan an enjoyable rally will be communicated to all entrants by our regular direct
Newsletters. Any forms to fill in are supplied by us and sent to you directly.
You can of course contact the Rally Office at any time if you have any queries or doubts, or if you simply wish to receive some advice; as the organisers of over 70 events worldwide we are always available to help and advise newcomers and veterans alike.
