Relive one of the greatest endurance feats in automotive history with "The Mad Motorists: The Great Peking-Paris Race of '07" by Allen Andrews. This 1980 hardcover reprint by George G. Harrap & Co Ltd details the astonishing 10,000-mile journey undertaken by five pioneering crews in the summer of 1907.

Spurred by a challenge in the Paris newspaper Le Matin, these intrepid motorists braved the Gobi Desert, Central Asian marshes, Siberian steppes, and uncharted terrain without maps or gas stations. Andrews' gripping narrative brings to life the technical failures, diplomatic hurdles, and fierce rivalries of the race, making it an essential chronicle of early motorsport history.
