Join the 1st China Rally of International Classic Cars – a 1000 mile rally from Bejing to Shanghai
From 18th September to 23rd September 2011, the “China Rally of International Classic Cars 2011″ will be held for the first time. Only 50 classic cars from around the world will be invited to this unique and prestigious event. This fantastic 6-day rally will run from Beijing through Tianjin, Jinan, Xuzhou, Nanjing, Hangzhou and arrive in Shanghai after approximately 1,000 miles. Along the route you will enjoy traditional Chinese sights such as the Great Wall, the hometown of Confucius, the Yangtze River and Chinese Venice. Join this, the first large scale vintage car event in China. This will be a landmark event and will attract a lot of attention, as historic cars are virtually nonexistent in China. During the whole event you will enjoy a luxurious and comfortable time supported by professional back-up. This is a great way to make history and establish a lifelong memorable experience. You will meet Chinese and international car enthusiasts and at the same time unravel the mysteries of the middle kingdom. Organised by the Classic Vehicle Union of China (CVUC is the only nationwide official non-profit organisation for historic vehicles in China), this rally is a recognised FIVA class B event. All FIVA registered class B, C, D, E and F cars are welcome to apply for entry. All the participating cars must own FIVA ID cards.
