We invite you to take a trip through time, following the paths in the history of La Carrera Panamericana!

 

Known worldwide in its initial stage as The Mexican Road Race, the automobile sports competition would later be named La Carrera Panamericana.

La Carrera, is a rally-type sporting event, classified as one of the most important of its kind, as well as being the longest in in the world, even surpassed the Mile Miglia and Targa Florio races in Italy.

La Carrera Panamericana history, is divided into two stages, the first is the old stage that goes from 1950 to 1954, where great pilots participated, aboarding vehicles with renowned European brands such as Ferrari, Osca, Lancia, Mercedes, Porsche or Maserati, in addition to the North American Ford and Oldsmobile.

In 1954, the fifth and last race of the old era was held, as the Mexican government, at that time, decided to cancel the event, for safety reasons after the tragic incident at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, in 1955.

It took just over three decades for the legend to be revived in 1988, giving birth to the second era of La Carrera, known as the modern era , which we have celebrated uninterruptedly to date.
