With its small turning circle it could be a city racer.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

This is one of six or seven kids racers that where on display somewhere near Berlin, probably a circus or the like

You probably have the Cuno Bistram from Hamburg in mind (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-cuno-bistram-1954-siata-004). It is not one of those.

It would have to be a monoposto racing car based on DKW F8 and built in 1946 (some sources also indicate 1945 as the year of construction).
According to my source, the car was built for a Danish racing driver and is now owned by Harry Lund from Denmark.
