The Peruvian Automobile Club (; ACP) is a Peruvian non-profit automobile racing club. It organises rally racing events, notably the Caminos del Inca and Rally ACP events, considered symbolic to the country's racing industry.
History The club was founded in 1942 by a group composed of Luis Mannarelli, Francisco Agüero, Augusto Malachowski, Francisco Santa Cruz, Enrique Forno, Henry Bradley Barnett, Eduardo Martinez, Guillermo Piccone, Julio Maschi, Francisco Camino, Luis Salvi, Luis Barestein, Carlos Stein, José Delfín, Julio Huasasquiche and siblings Ernesto and Alfonso Peyón. Its first organised event was the 1948 South American Grand Prix, and it was officially recognised by the Peruvian government on July 7, 1949. Its foremost race, the Gran Premio Nacional de Carreteras, later known as the Caminos del Inca, first took place on November 6, 1966.
