For one point: who is the driver, and where and when was the picture taken??

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Could it be a Lorraine-Dietrich? If yes, then the driver might be Duray.

Do you mean that the car is a Lorraine-Dietrich?

Flanders, about 1912,....so possibly Walter Flanders at the wheel.

I believe you are correct about the car. That's not Mr. Flanders at the wheel.

Up to the Pro's

Not that I know of.

One of the other E.M.F. partners?

No

Is it EMF works driver Jack Tower ?

Not him.

The driver's name (first name - nickname and second name - family name) almost sounds like the name of a well-known fast car from the same period.

It is a bit more specific - not jut a brand; the sounds-like name also includes an attribute of the car.

Speedster ?

Is the "well-known fast car" sounds-like name a US marque?

Ja

Since you say: "The driver's name (first name - nickname and second name - family name) almost sounds like the name of a well-known fast car from the same period", and since we now know that the "well-known fast car from the same period" sounds-like name was/is German marque, can we safely conclude that the said Germany marque is not currently being produced, but was a major marque in its time period?   

The brand still exisits

Is the "sounds-like" German brand Benz?

Yep

So does the name sound something like "Blitzen Benz"?

Indeed it does

I hope this helps.

So it's not Blitzen Benz, but Blitzen Bean, pictured at a gold mining site operated by the Canadian Klondike Mining Company, Yukon Territory, July 1913.

Yay!  ;D
