Originally sanctioned to celebrate the completion of the Mexican section of the Pan-American Highway in 1950, the Carrera Panamericana—modeled after events like the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio—quickly gained a reputation as one of the most dangerous races around.
In total, the race was officially held for only four years, from 1950-’54, though its popularity has spawned at least a few revival events over the years that use parts of the original course.
