Please identify this car for a point. Builder, name of the car are worth a point. If you identify the event I'll give you a 2nd point

Klodwig's BMW-Heck was 328 powered and this appears to be a BMW motorcycle engine.

Quite so

BTW it was built in 1949, not in 1950

BTW, four of them were built, the first in 1949, the last in 1950. The last one can be seen in the Prototyp Museum Hamburg:

From 1949

The caption reads that it is a two-litre chassis, so it must be the Monopol (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=12068.msg100928#msg100928), not the Monopoletta.
