A smart, sharp and simple Art Deco image of a driver suited up for a Belgian transcontinental race from Paris to Cape Town and back, and his sturdy vehicle. The round-trip trek, a 38,000 kilometer journey, is billed as the world's longest car race. Although Ciné-Studio printed movie posters there is no historical record of a film with this name.
