Well, I guess it's an F3? Any Rak connection?

Neither a F3 car nor any Rak connection I'm afraid...

I should have thought about the absence of a very distinctive Wartburg engine exhaust pipe before asking about Rak :)

Europe?

Wait a moment... European is not entirely correct as it was about to race under a not European flag...

McNamara? Hardly, though, but there were Mk1 F.Vees and Mk3 and Mk3B F3's... where is the Mk2?  ::)

So, 'not European flag' is not American?

two clues:
It was built for more advanced racing than Formula 3.
Its name is quite close to a very common high-volume production car.
Probably I gave it away now..

Doubt that  :huh:

But is it from circa 1964?

It's interesting, though. From the previously given answers I understand that it is a European developed project which was about to race as a non-European... Higher than F3... Hmm..

Yes it was built in Europe by partly European engineers, though the team-owner came from a non-European country.

Is this the Scirocco-Climax driven by Andre Pilette at the Belgian GP 1964?

Regarding the name you are very close, but it's a different car. Locked for you for 24h, respectively till your next reply.

Thanks Allemano but I haven't got much further with this.
I think it's only fair to let Faksta (or anyone else of course) to attempt to solve the puzzle.
I'll also respond again if it remains unsolved.
