The Peking to Paris Motor Challenge, scheduled for 17 May to 22 June 2025, remains one of the most demanding endurance rallies in the world. Organised by HERO-ERA, this legendary transcontinental event covers thousands of miles across Asia and Europe, with participants navigating challenging terrain in pre-1976 vehicles. The route includes vast deserts, rugged mountain passes, and remote backroads, demanding reliability, ingenuity, and stamina from both car and crew.
New for 2025 is an invitation class for classic 4x4s, acknowledging the increasingly diverse appeal of historic long-distance motoring. Teams must be self-sufficient and mechanically competent, but are rewarded with extraordinary landscapes and the prestige of completing one of rallying’s ultimate challenges.
