Hardcover in Dustjacket. Condition: AS NEW COPY. CARS -TheÂPeking to ParisÂmotor race was anÂautomobile race, originally held in 1907, betweenÂPekingÂ(now Beijing), thenÂQing ChinaÂ(now theÂPeople's Republic of China) andÂParis,ÂFranceÂ(then theÂThird French Republic), a distance of 14,994 kilometres (9,317Âmi).The idea for the race came from a challenge published in the Paris newspaperÂLe MatinÂon 31 January 1907, reading: "What needs to be proved today is that as long as a man has a car, he can do anything and go anywhere. Is there anyone who will undertake to travel this summer from Paris to Peking by automobile?"Eventually the race started from the French embassy in Peking on 10 June 1907. The winner, PrinceÂScipione Borghese, arrived in Paris on 10 August 1907.[1]In 1997 there was "The Second Peking to Paris Motor Challenge", consisting of 94Âvintage cars, which took a more southerly route through Tibet, India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey, Greece, and Italy. It was won by the British pair Phil Surtees and John Bayliss, driving a 1942ÂWillys Jeep.Signed by Authors.
