Heidi Hetzer, an accomplished German businesswoman and celebrity, is on a serious mission.
The 75-year-old plans to go around the globe in her 1921 Hispano-Suiza roadster, using Clarenore Stinnes’ – the first person to circumnavigate the world by automobile – original route, which she took back in 1928.
Hetzer was a mechanic at her father’s Opel dealership in the 1950s; she took over from him in the 1960s when he died, and made it one of the largest dealerships in Berlin, Germany.
She also took part in many races, collecting 150 prizes throughout her 50 years of racing.
Hetzer will kick off her ambitious journey in 2014. In the meantime, you can scroll down to watch a special video of this awesome lady.
