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.

Reinhard en team, bedankt voor dit prachtige boek. Het is een kunstwerk en er is ongelooflijk veel tijd en liefde in gestoken. Het is een dierbare herinnering die ik en mijn vader zullen koesteren! Bedankt!

I received the book yesterday and I should say that everything is more than perfect, not only the books with the personalized cover, but the packaging and the delivery too.
Great performance, I would have had a similar result during the P2P ;-)

The quality of the photographs and the detailed story of each of the 37 rally days, allows any reader to experience the extreme adventure of travelling from Peking to Paris.

Delighted with the book. A masterpiece. So many great stories and pictures that pull me back in to the moment time and time again. A great piece of work from Patrick and Reinhard.

What a sensational book! So much detail, love, precision and flavour - congratulations!

Opening the beautifully composed pages stepped me straight back into the dust, sweat and adrenaline packed adventure. I still struggle to explain how we spent those days, but here we have the evidence wonderfully illustrated.
Every name mentioned reminds me of the camaraderie and friendships we made .

An epic tale bound in an epic book . It’s a mandatory read for all guests!

Thank you for the sweat and tears that went into producing it Patrick and Reinhard
