What is this racing car?  For what Formula?  When?

[D-type]

Experts?

[knewit]

Italian ?

[D-type]

Yes it is Italian

[knewit]

Bandini ?

[D-type]

No.
Hint:  My question "For what Formula?" should give you a clue.

[D-type]

I'll be away from my computer for a few days, so please be patient if you make a guess about this little gem

[mekubb]

Giaur ?

[D-type]

Yes it's a Giaur.  Locked for you to complete the answer.

[mekubb]

Sorry, I was abroad for a couple of days. It is a 1953 Giaur 750 Sport raced in the Italian formula 3 championship.

[D-type]

This is a Giaur 750 but on this occasion it was not competing in a Formula 3 race.

[mekubb]

1954 Mille Miglia 750 cc class ?

[D-type]

Nope, it wasn't running as a sports car on this occasion.

[mekubb]

In an Italian race ?

[D-type]

It was in an international race in Italy

[mekubb]

There are a few.....So not the Mille Miglia, how about the Targa Florio ?

[D-type]

As I said previously, it wasn't in a sports car race.

[mekubb]

In a formula (1) race ? Like e.g. the Copa Acerbo ?

[D-type]

Yes, a non-Championship Formula 1 race

[mekubb]

Then it could / should be the 1954 Rome Grand Prix with driver Berardo Taraschi

[D-type]

Congratulations!  You've got there in the end.
In 1954 Giaur supercharged one of their sports / Italian Formula 3 cars with a 750 Giannini engine and ran it in the Gran Premio de Roma at Castelfusan driven by Berardo taraschi.  The experiment was unsuccessful and the car was hopelessly slow and retired after 5 laps.
