Who knows the two white racing cars?
>>> Expert AutoPuzzles >>>
Are they from Germany?
A stab in the dark: 1914 GP Opels?
No, compared to those cars, the engine of the GP Opel was a monster...
And those here are from the early 1920s.

I think these are two Bob Rennwagen.
As this is the professional level, I need to know the year and maybe the place from you, too... ;)
But it is LOCKED for you, of course.
I think it must be the 1924 Avus race:
They also raced there in 1923.
But this is of course enough for this well earned point!
Do you know which car is in the middle between those two Bobs in the puzzle picture?
Unfortunately not.
But there were at least three of them:
Here´s another more detailed shot of the 1923 Bob race car, driven by the Prinz von Reuß .
I have never heard about Bob race car as other many brands from Germany and It is difficult for me finding info in German pages but I have found some information about cars that races that race in Avus 1923, there were two teams with 3 cars involved NSU and HAG so maybe the other cars could be HAG because I think NSU were easy to recognize for you.
Serra, thank you very much for your research.
I´m quite sure those are NSU race cars.
Maybe someone can prove it?
In Klaus Arth's book "NSU Automobile" you can find a picture of the 1923 NSU team. Those were different cars with oval radiators, having the starter numbers 14, 16 and 20.
Right - meanwhile I´ve found a photo of one of the NSU racing cars from 1923 at the Avus.
So maybe the other cars were HAG´s...??
Meanwhile I found the 1923 picture online:
Another picture of a Bob racecar at the Avus, said to be from 1922. The car at the right end seems to be the same one as in the second picture of reply #16, just with a different starting number.
