Peking to Paris (2006) DVDRip

Peking to Paris (2006) [DVDRip (AVI)]
... from the Paris newspaper Le Matin on 31 January 1907:
"What needs to be proved today is that as long as a man has a car, he can do anything and go anywhere. Is there anyone who will undertake to travel this summer from Peking to Paris by automobile?"
Thus began the original Peking To Paris Race. On May 15, 2005, a crew of 15 - ten drivers and co-drivers and five support crew - set off in five 100 year-old cars on a 14,000 kilometre journey to recreate the first Peking to Paris Race. It was a journey which took them more than a third of the way around the globe. This is the story of their spectacular adventure, told as a four-part documentary on ABC Television.

On May 15, 2005 five cars led by Lang Kidby departed Beijing for Paris retracing the original route with very similar cars to the originals; a 1907 Spyker, a 1907 and a 1912 De Dion-Bouton, a 1907 Itala and a Contal Cycle-car replica. This journey was televised by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in a four-part documentary series entitled Peking to Paris. The show was hosted by Warren Brown, one of two drivers on the Itala and a cartoonist with Sydney newspaper The Daily Telegraph. The Australian crew (driving westward) ran across the Italian Fiat 500 (driving eastward) in a non-planned meeting, somewhere around Krasnojarsk, Russia.
