Only the race number. It can help solve puzzles if you can find an entry list!

Well it looks like a Gemini behind so I am guessing not European but possibly African?

Not built in Germany, but it is partly German in construction.

Well the Gemini is FJ so is this car DKW powered?

tobytwirl · September 25, 2019, 09:34:33 PM

Or perhaps the Gemini is a Lola ..............

nicanary · September 26, 2019, 09:05:45 AM

I haven't looked up the following car, but the puzzle car IS DKW powered.

gte4289 wins the coconut! I can't add any more, although I believe that the car was constructed around an old Cooper 500cc F3 chassis. It complied with Formula Junior regulations.

BTW tobytwirl, the following car was indeed a Lola.
