Another special.
1 point to the puzzler who can identify the pilot who drove this race car. I know his name, not his face, and he's not necessarily the man you see here.
1 point if you can give the make and name of the car. This I have no idea of.

Simca Colani?

Ray B. · « **Reply #2 on:** June 16, 2008, 11:50:32 AM »

I have searched further and I have a name for ther car: it's not a Simca, and if Luigi Colani worked on that car it would have been at the very beginning of his career.

Here are two more pics of the car and the pilot, racing.

Is it from an Eastern-block country?

Ray B. · « **Reply #5 on:** June 17, 2008, 05:42:43 AM »

The third picture has a hint of that, doesn't it?
VERY good guess. Yes.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #6 on:** June 18, 2008, 04:44:02 AM »

I've seen this car before. but cannot remember where.

MAZ 1500 S?

I checked and found a picture of the MAZ 1500. It's obviously not the same car although I admit there are similarities in design.
No.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2008, 04:49:50 AM »

Is the driver Vaclav Bobkem, or perhaps Jaroslav Netušilem?

Ray B. · « **Reply #10 on:** August 22, 2008, 05:12:24 AM »

Nope, but according to those names you seem to be in the right country

Ray B. · « **Reply #11 on:** November 08, 2008, 06:06:43 AM »

I thought we had gained a few puzzlers from Eastern European countries recently ...

Arunas · « **Reply #12 on:** November 08, 2008, 09:36:09 AM »

Made in Russia? ZIL?

Ray B. · « **Reply #13 on:** November 08, 2008, 10:58:20 AM »

No. You can easily guess the country by my 22nd August reply bove.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #14 on:** November 27, 2008, 11:51:00 AM »

Skoda?

Ray B. · « **Reply #15 on:** November 27, 2008, 12:27:37 PM »

I am not at home and can't access my sources. Here I have only a model name. I will be able to confirm this when I get home. If it's not Skoda, it is the same country anyway. You may have it easier by searching the pilot's name first.

Ray B. · « **Reply #16 on:** December 04, 2008, 10:06:59 AM »

As I feared, I still cannot tell you, because I don't speak Czech. Why not give me a model name if you think that you know?

faksta · « **Reply #17 on:** December 19, 2008, 09:43:31 AM »

Any chance it was named after its developer, who (by a pure occasion) is the person you guessed?

Ray B. · « **Reply #18 on:** December 19, 2008, 02:59:11 PM »

From the name I have, none.
But here is a kind of clue: a picture of the driver where looking for.

faksta · « **Reply #19 on:** December 19, 2008, 03:44:38 PM »

Is the car based on Czech mechanicals? Do you have the info?

EDIT: Forget the question - I have re-read your first post

Better tell me if those are all Czech tracks.

faksta · « **Reply #20 on:** December 19, 2008, 04:39:49 PM »

Maybe Jaroslav Bobek, Vaclav Bobek or Miroslav Fousek? I've seen the last photo, but I can't remember where and who it was...

Ray B. · « **Reply #21 on:** December 20, 2008, 06:15:50 AM »

None of them.
And, as all the info I have is written in Czech, I can't answer your first question.
I know it ain't easy, but here's all you got and I think it's enough:
the face of a czech driver, a (probably) czech car he drove in (probably) czech races.

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #22 on:** December 20, 2008, 06:21:07 AM »

If it helps, I can translate the czech text for you. Unless of course you want it to remain on this level of difficulty

Ray B. · « **Reply #23 on:** December 20, 2008, 06:50:18 AM »

I think it's not too difficult now. You'd better try your luck.

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #24 on:** December 20, 2008, 06:58:28 AM »

Me and racing one-offs? I think I'll pass (as always)
