Racing driver Clärenore Stinnes (Germany), accompanied by filmmaker Carl-Axel Söderström (Sweden), embarked upon what is considered to be the first round-the-world drive on 25 May 1927, setting off from Frankfurt in Germany and finishing just beyond the starting point in Berlin on 24 June 1929, a total of 46,063 km (28,622 miles). The pair drove a three-speed, 50-hp Adler Standard 6 automobile that was unmodified, save for two lounge seats, added to give extra comfort, and the entire trip took 2 years 1 month.
