The Road to Hanoi Marathon 2024 organized by Rally The Globe is an exciting journey that gathers 26 vintage cars traveling through 3 Indochinese countries: Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. The group will make its first stop in Vietnam, exploring some destinations before crossing the border to our neighboring countries Cambodia and Laos, and then returning to our country to discover Hanoi.

The first leg of the Road to Hanoi Marathon 2024 journey starts from Saigon, where the participants will venture into the rubber forest in Binh Phuoc province, cruising the dusty roads previously conquered by experienced drivers, leaving many in awe of the adventurous spirit of these millionaires.

Afterwards, the convoy traveled to the dreamy city of Dalat in Lam Dong province, a popular destination for international car convoys seeking unique experiences. Along the journey, they garnered the attention of onlookers.
