Peking to Paris 2016 in a 1966 VW Karmann Ghia Patrick & Christine Sommer Car 65

Many of you have followed us on the 2015 "Road to Mandalay" and on the 2012 “London to Cape Town” rallies. On June 12 we will start to drive 14 000 km on the "Peking to Paris" rally. The race will take us through Mongolia & Siberia driving through 11 countries until we reach Place Vendôme in Paris on July 17. We will try to post a short comment on our blog on most days with the exception of Mongolia where we will have no internet access.

Day 21 Kazan to Nizhny Novgorod

IOur marshals are now wearing the local uniform.

Today was a hot and quite relaxed day with no competition.

Nizhny Novgorod formerly known as Gorky during the soviet regime, is east of Moscow at the confluence of the Volga and Oka rivers.

Like in many Russian towns, Lenin's statue is still there.

Tomorrow starts with a test on the race track followed by two tests on gravel and uphill in the afternoon.
