SEOUL TO TOKYO 2024
CLASSIC CAR TOURING
March 13th to April 7th, 2024
Rally Entries Now Closed. Sign up for 2026
The first ever classic car tour taking in South Korea and Japan will run at the most beautiful time of the year when the cherry blossom is in its full majesty. Starting in Seoul, the powerhouse capital of South Korea, the rally explores national parks, historic cities, incredible landscapes and of course by driving yourself you get the opportunity to meet the people and understand their country and culture better.
South Korea, probably better known for K-Pop and Gangnam style, is virtually unknown as a tourist destination but nevertheless one of the more fascinating places you can visit. We have four nights in Seoul to give you the chance to revel in the richness of the culture and have time to visit the must see locations such as the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), the Gyeongbokgung Palace, Bukchon Hanok Village and even Lotte World.
To reach Japan we take the overnight ferry from Busan to Fukuoka before driving to Nagasaki. The blossom really starts to ‘blossom’ from now on and while we visit volcanoes, hot springs, stunning mountains, villages preserved in aspic, mountains, valleys and extraordinary culture we are in the middle of the most beautiful time of
the year.
This is a luxury tour with an absolute limit of 20 cars. Having a small number means we are able to take advantage of iconic and beautiful hotels. On this journey we will include events such as tea ceremony, Sumo, Samurai, Geisha and other cultural icons that are only available in Japan.

TESTIMONIAL
“The GP of South America was a great event and John and I enjoyed ourselves immensely. It is always good to be the first to try something that no one else has done for a long time, in this case 70 years. Your team were fantastic and that made it even more enjoyable . The roads were challenging as they should be and the scenery spectacular. The hotels were good quality and the food was very good. This is an event for anyone who wants an adventure and I would whole heartedly rec- ommend it; if you want to do something a bit different, exciting and a bit of a challenge, then the GP of South America is for you. Thanks John and team for putting together such a great event.”
