As far as I know the make Auto-Stand does not exist. Auto-Stand was a Parisian car agency selling De Dion-Bouton, but also numerous occasions of different makes. What I see is an older Panhard & Levassor of ca 1902, which car was apparently lent to the magazine Armes et Sports for visiting and photographing the Circuit d'Auvergne, where the Gordon Bennett Cup was held in June 1905.

Your  photo was published in Armes et Sports 30 Juin 1905 p.236 in an article on the 1905 Gordon Bennett races. During the 1906 Coupe de Voiturettes Pellegrin maybe drove an Auto-Stand, but on the uploaded photo the car is clearly a De Dion-Bouton indeed. Badge-engineering, as this is called.
