A day at the races.

For one point, please respond and identify the base car and the driver.

Yes, I think that the car is based on a Wanderer Puppchen. That was the easy part.
No US involvement.

I hadn't even noticed it was a "tandem"! By pure coincidence, I'm having my eyes tested tomorrow at 9am - not before time!

Just a long shot, is the driver Franz Felix and the lady looking in adoration Tilly Feiner?

Your query regarding actor and actress jolted me into a new line of thinking, ropat.  The racing car occupants in the photograph have the exaggerated gestures seen in silent films.  Is this photograph a still from an old silent film, and the driver's name we are seeking that of an actor?

Yes, well found! The German title was "Der tote Automobilist" (The dead automobilist).
