Beautiful photos! They just make us want to do that rally!
Discovering the world with old motorcycles and classic cars is my passion. That is why I was also attracted to the books that Patrick published about his adventures during the Peking Paris rally. The photos breathe the spirit of adventure, the purity of untouched nature, the encounters with other cultures, all this combined with a vehicle without frills, electronics and modern gadgets. I hope to one day be allowed to go on this adventure, back to the essence of life!
Wat mij betreft een nog mooier exemplaar als de 2019 editie. De foto’s zijn werkelijk schitterend en je voelt de avonturen van de deelnemers. Het boek is het geld meer dan waard.
Ook als je niet zelf hebt meegereden krijg je door dit boek een heel duidelijk beeld van de rally. Voortreffelijk gedaan Patrick.
An excellent book chronicling the 2024 Peking to Paris classic car rally! Aside from the incredible photography the story is a fascinating account day-by-day of our adventures, triumphs and challenges! This volume will stand with previous editions as a historical record for future generations!
Very interesting and detailed book
After reading studying and fundraising... maybe I have opportunity to ride it also 🤞
Maybe dreams come true.

What a great book on the epic 2024 peking to Paris rally,
accurately capturing the daily joys and hardships of the journey as only a fellow participant could do. The photos are spectacular and the stories show the rally in a personal way. traveling through the Chinese gobi desert was never ending and brutal. Kazakstan was equally difficult reaching never seen remote areas in the heart of Kazan desert with sand finer than talcum powder. Great photos through remote countries like Azerbaijan, Georgia and turkey and spectacular roads in Europe. The book just like the rally itself was an unbelievable undertaking. you could spend hours reviewing the photos and stories from cover to cover.
Captivating, a must have motoring book.
This book is truly a work of art. The detailed text and amazing pictures put you right there in the race. Incredible!
1908! Ekkor adták ki azt a könyvet, mely fiatal férfiként, elindított az _úton!_ Pekingtől - Párisig Automobilon Borghese Herczeg útja - Barzini Luigi
Kalandok, csodák, küzdelem, győzelem! Élet!
Autóversenyző lettem, számtalan csodát élhettem meg, de Pekingtől Párizsig soha nem autózhattam. Megtette Patrik helyettem, helyettünk. Fiával ezt az élményt ajándékba adta nekünk, fotel kalandoroknak. :-) A könyv, melyet kaptam, kis kincs a polcomon, és nagy boldogság a szívemben!
Hálásan köszönöm! Mestermű, szenzációs képi világgal. Odarepít térben időben az útra, melyen annyi remek ember küzdte magát végig.
2025 január első napja van, ma kaptam kézhez, csodás évem lesz!
Barátaimmal, mikor motorozni indulunk, így indítjuk be a gépezeteket:
"Ma is fosszillis szénhidrogéneket égetünk, boldogsággá!"
Ezt kívánom remek barátomnak Patriknak és mindenkinek aki e könyvet olvassa!

Fantastic book, just like the previous one looking forward to reading about the next event, and the pictures are great, showing the conditions that the crews and their vehicles went through during the drive
Le book personnalisé du Pékin Paris 2024 est un véritable trésor. Le travail effectué pour sa réalisation est absolument impeccable et énorme. La qualité est tout simplement hors norme tant elle est parfaite. Bravo et merci !
Do you like road trips as well as adventure? Then the Beijing - Paris rally cannot fail to fascinate you! The book gives a very detailed picture of the rally with all the additional challenges for the teams. The teams themselves are also all featured individually. Highly recommended!
As someone who participated in the Peking to Paris rally, this book by Patrick and Reinhard is a perfect reflection of the journey’s highs, lows, and unforgettable moments. Reading it felt like stepping back into the driver’s seat, reliving the dust-filled challenges, camaraderie, and triumphs.
Kazakhstan’s unforgiving terrain brought back vivid memories, especially my own car’s breakdown due to the relentless dust. The heartbreak of pulling it out of the race and replacing it was a defining moment, and Patrick and Reinhard captured the raw emotion of such experiences beautifully.
The storytelling brings the rally to life—not just the mechanics of the race, but the friendships, struggles, and ultimate joy of reaching Paris. This book is a must-read for anyone craving adventure and a deep dive into the human piece of such an event. A brilliant tribute to an extraordinary journey!
Wederom een prachtig initiatief waar je de passie voor oldtimers en avontuur voelt binnenkomen. Well done!
Reinhard and Patrick I was not expecting that...you have reproduced the very essence of the trip. As I read it I was transported back to the adventure and each day as it unfolded. Thank you for doing such a brilliant job for everyone to enjoy for many years to come.
No words, emotions! Patrick and Reinhard you made the book of the year! I’ve been back into the adventure, reading the pages, great space at the pictures and real story written very well… the art direction on Graphic is perfect!!! Well guys!! Ad maiora, Fra
What a great piece of work. I was a book publisher myself once and still edit illustrated books for pleasure from time to time. So I do know how much work it is to get a such a big book done. And done so well it is even more work! Thanks Patrick and thanks Reinhard for taking the effort. What came out of it is just amazing! So happy, I can share this great adventure now with many of my friends, sitting comfortably and leafing through this wonderful book.
This elegantly written and beautifully produced record of an epic road trip for classic cars conjures up memories of people, place and experiences which none who had been there would ever want to forget. For those who haven’t visited these places the book prompts a bucket list entry which can only be laid to rest by getting wheels ready for the road and signing up for the next P to P epic adventure.
Thank you Reinhard for the hours of work you have put in to create this masterwork and thank you Patrick for your caring energy in herding the cats into providing materials within the timelines required for publication.
