“Taiwan, the most beautiful scenery is its people.” Many travelers from around the world leave such comments after visiting Taiwan. It is precisely because of this beautiful sight that the renowned Japanese vintage car event organizer “RALLY NIPPON” will lead 60 vintage cars, with an average age of over 60 years, overseas for the first time on November 28. They will hold a 4-day, 3-night round-island rally in Taiwan.

March 11, 2011, is the most unforgettable day for the Japanese. The powerful earthquake in eastern Japan left the area in ruins. Taiwan swiftly dispatched personnel for rescue and generously provided aid funds that surpassed those of any other country in the world to assist Japanese disaster victims in rebuilding their homes. To this day, the Japanese remain deeply grateful. In appreciation, “RALLY NIPPON,” the only domestically recognized vintage car event organizer approved by the Japan Tourism Agency, has decided to move its annual vintage car rally to Taiwan. Through a 4-day, 3-night round-island relay race, it aims to showcase the beauty of Taiwan’s cities and towns to the world.

The “RALLY NIPPON” vintage car rally started in 2009, and what fascinates all media and vintage car enthusiasts is the strict regulations on the eligible car models. All vintage cars must have been manufactured before 1974, and the competition is not about speed but precise time control. Participants must arrive at the designated spots accurately within the set time according to the route book. Moreover, unlike similar thousand-mile races in Europe that are purely competitive, “RALLY NIPPON” incorporates elements of cultural and historical appreciation. The entire route connects various historical sites and attractions, while also testing the endurance, physical strength, and car maintenance skills of the owners. This is the full picture of the event.

The “RALLY NIPPON 2013 in Taiwan” race will take place from November 28 to December 1. It is scheduled

“This is not just a journey of gratitude, but also an opportunity to let the world see the beauty of Taiwan once again.” said Mr. Yuusuke Kobayashi, Representative Director of RALLY NIPPON. As Japanese, we are truly grateful for this kindness and believe it is only right to express our appreciation to Taiwan. Therefore, we want to take concrete action to personally convey our thanks to the land and people of Taiwan, and also deepen the interaction and exchange between the people of Taiwan and Japan.
