Not that.
The car had a name derived from that particular food.
It was bought by the driver in this picture from previous owner.
It was huge and heavy and they say that to stop it He used to drive into the banks of sand outside the tracks.
It had a nickname because of its weight.
Its driver's first name is similar (just 1 letter is different) to the one of the founder of a very known company.

Gallo Albino (instead of gallo al vino = coq au vin)?

Or rather Krespella (crespella = crêpes)?
Almost there!
Locked for you.

The name was Krespell_.

Think French again  ;)
...and to let you find the only reference about this car there is online I can tell you that the pilot share his first name with Cisitalia's founder...but there are 2 'o' in that name ;)

Yes!
He got that 24hp racer from Paoletto Marazzani in 1912.
This was quite hard!
Point for you.

I think my source was slighlty wrong.
This is in fact a French Crespelle 24hp...here it is in 1912 with Crespelle at the wheel:

The puzzle car is a Crespelle, but it is not the same car shown in your second image. Here are three additional Crespelle images: sport and touring models from 1911 and a competition model from 1912. The puzzle car closely resembles the first of these (1911 sport).
