Famous, I don't know. I had not heard of this make until I found this picture. Perhaps well-known in Europe; it was among the first of its breed.

I asked just because of the "advanced" rear wing treatment. Is it a Formula 2 car?

I know it's not that, but it reminded me quite a lot of Abarth formula libre car.

Narrow production tires make me think of something not-so-high in motorsport hierarchy. Something like Formule France and Grac? I don't recall seeing any Grac's with such a rear wing, though.

It's the Hampe Formula Renault from 1971/72 probably with Maxime Bochet at the wheel.
