THE MAD MOTORISTS
Peking To Paris
Part 1

In 1907, Prince Scipo Borghese won the inaugural and only motorcar race from Peking to Paris, immortalised by Tony Randall and Jack Lemmon in the classic film 'The Great Race'.

Ninety years later, over 90 classic and vintage cars departed Beijing bound for Paris in a recreation of that epic race following a route literally across the top of the world.

Compiled from footage of the entire duration of the event, capturing all the sights, sounds, mishaps, comedy and emotions of an epic journey, often against the odds, across three continents, this is the ultimate adventure story!
