Well, this is an early postwar german licence plate, so I can assure you there´s no Nazi connection.

The chassis might be from a KDF Beetle or a Kübelwagen, but it could also have been a flame new one.

I dunno...

Yes, from Württemberg in the American Zone, so quite far from Wolfsburg.
There are vineyards in the background so maybe it's near Stuttgart where Ferdinand Porsche and his family lived. I don't recognise the people as members of that family though.

There´s no Porsche direction, but you´re definitly in the correct area.

I´ll help massively:

He is the father of some creations of his own brand we saw here at autopuzzles before...

Good guesses.

He gave his own name to his brand.

But do not forget, I want to know some more fact about what he was doing there, too.

Yes!

LOCKED for you!

Do you have an idea where it was and what he did there?

This is the pro level - so, I want to hear some more fact before awarding a point... ;)

Yes!

Well, what are you doing at a race track before the action starts?

He's probably doing a training drive for the race, hoping this VW chassis might behave just as his EBS-Maserati.

I´ve tortured you a bit, but now it´s your point!

Well, he almost has slicks on this chassis, so I doubt it was a new one...
