About: London to Peking Motor Challenge

An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The London to Peking Motor Challenge was a one-time car rally organized by the Jules Verne Society in the Spring of 1990. As the name implied, the rally consisted of a drive from London, UK to Peking, China. Peking is now officially known as Beijing, but the old name was used, as the rally traced the course driven by the Italians Prince Scipione Borghese, mechanic and journalist Luigi Barzini in the Peking to Paris race in 1907 (before the name change). The 1990 rally ran in the opposite direction as the 1907 course, heading west-to-east.
