The Challenge itinerary runs from Paris to Beijing with milestones in the Renault group facilities and our potential partners.

Iran, a Renault strategic country, will be an important milestone of the trip. The good diplomatic relationship between France and China as much as the Beijing Olympic Games close opening (August 8-24, 2008) draw Beijing as a perfect destination.

A few figures:

• Gone across 13 countries: France, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kirghizstan, China.
• 7 Renault facilities connected: Technocentre (Guyancourt), STA (Ruitz), Renault Deutschland (Köln), Dacia Plant (Pitesti), Renault Techno Romania (Bucharest), Renault Plant (Bursa), Renault Plant(Teheran).
  
• 14.000 kms driven.
  
• 40-day trip.
• Dates: July 13 to August 20, 2008.
  

This is a unique opportunity to take advantage of the Beijing Olympic Games in August 2008. Participants will come back by plane, and vehicles by boat.

This journey might seem consequent, but as a comparison, participants to the 2007 Peking to Paris Motor Challenge raid completed a 14.000 km trip in 36 days with historical vehicles from 1907 to 1965. So, what about us?
