It looks very similar to a car called Mrkev which he raced in 1962. So I think it's a 1961 Mrkev-Wartburg Formula Junior built by Alois Gbelec of Czechoslovakia.

Yes, you are absolutely right. "Mrkev" tranlates to "Carrot", because of the car's red colour
Sorry, it's a repost

Thank you. Another photo of the car in 1962 shows a faired headrest behind the driver.

Yes, you are absolutely right again. I have some photos of it and should have chosen one of them
