Xinhua, February 2, 2015 Adjust font size:

A total of 70 participating crews of classic rally are heading to Myanmar after flagging off from Singapore, according to Endurance Rally Association (ERA) website Monday.

The 25-day rally organized by the Endurance Rally Association (ERA) is due to end in Yangon on Feb. 25.

The group of classic cars were driven by those from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, it said, adding that the oldest car among them is a 1907 Parigi Italia.

The crew started driving from Singapore through Malaysia and Thailand, to be the first ever to cross the frontier into Myanmar and travel through Mae Sot, Nay Pyi Taw and ancient city Bagan.

The ERA has organized some 60 major events, in more than 50 different countries around the world.

Myanmar is opening up after years of isolation. The association feels the time is right to take a classic rally to this remarkable region, according to ERA. Endi
