The 22,000-Mile Race: New York To Paris 1908 (RCR Stories)

Описание: In 1908, six cars lined up in New York City to do the impossible: race 22,000 miles around the world to Paris. Through snowstorms, mud pits, the Siberian wilderness, and even wolf attacks, only three would finish. The New York to Paris race wasn’t just about cars. It was about national pride, human stubbornness, and the madness of driving across continents before most places even had proper roads. France, Germany, Italy, and the United States all entered with their own heroes, cheats, and failures in a quest for automotive glory.
This is the epic tale of the 1908 New York to Paris Race. It's part endurance challenge, part survival story, and part comedy of errors. If you love insane automotive history, true survival stories, or adventures that blur the line between genius and madness, this episode of RCR Stories is for you.
