faksta is right.

Debuire or JDS
Jean Debuire's Zundapp engined special. It was a little large and a little under-powered to achieve success.

It took me some time to browse even the German entries only...  ;)

I wasn't trying to mislead - Zundapp is German - I thought that's what you were asking about. The car was raced in Germany and other places, including France:

Montlhéry 30th April 1950, DNF
Avus 1st July 1951, 12th in heat, 13th in final
Nürburgring 29th July 1951 German Grand Prix, 23rd
Grenzlandring 9th September 1951, DNF
Namur 20th July 1952, 6th in consolation heat
Montlhéry 28th September 1952, 4th

A point for both, as I seem to have bungled another one.

Thanks. No problem at all.

I wasn't there for a long time and it's always a pleasure to read.
