Hi there! Although Peking to Paris 2025 is now officially closed, we may be able to accommodate you as sometimes spaces open up for different reasons.

Please contact entries@hero-era.com to check with us directly. It would be a pity to miss such a great event, so we will try our best to facilitate your entry.

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.

Event Itinerary

Travelling through China, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, Austria, Switzerland and France, the epic 36-day adventure will cover approximately 15000kms (8850 miles) and be a true test of endurance for both car and crew. You will be able to find all of the latest news and stories from Syd Stelvio, right here on the HERO-ERA website.

The Route

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 HERO-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 China and Kazakhstan. The ability to carry out regular maintenance on your own car is essential. Average daily distances are around 450 kilometres but, on occasion, they can be as much as 680 kilometres – it is an endurance event after all.

There will be five main categories:

(A)  Pioneer - A model in production before 31 December 1920.

(B)  Vintage - A model type in production before 31 December 1930.

(C)  Vintageant - A model type in production between 01 January 1931 and 31 December 1947.

(D)  Classic - A model type in production between 01 January 1948 and 31 December 1975. (Cars of a later date may be accepted if deemed to be in the spirit of the event.)

(E)  Special - Any car not eligible in its normal age Category due to non-period modifications or a later build date, and 4x4 vehicles subject to invitation.

Some categories may be subdivided into classes based on engine size
