I don't think it's been done by car,
AFAIK you are right Alex. I researched the history of the Bering last year and at that time Steve B looked to be the most promising prospect in a car.
From what I learned of previous attempts (with a whole lot more money), his plan: land in winter, sea in summer - was the only way to succeed, and so it turned out, even if he was dragged much of the way to Uelen along the broken up coast by some sort of local tracked APC (his demountable tracks were too small).
...not stopping and starting and leaving the vehicle around.
I dont think it's possible in a near-conventional vehicle. The sea ice is too broken in winter unless you have something like an:
Home
and the land is too swampy in summer. In that part of Russia they can only deliver supplies by land in winter when the rivers are frozen hard.
Half Safe: now you're talking! I'm just finishing the book as he's heading for the Aleutians and the last lap. It's got to be the most incredible RTW by car ever and he did it all without a tow. Nothing comes close.
