I don't know which race this car took part, but I know which car it is and when it was built; that's sufficient to have a point, but if you can give me a proved answer about the race, you'll have one more.

I have no idea about the race time or location, but the car is a Sizaire Freres of about 1925.

That's right, a point for you. I don't move the topic waiting if someone can add something about the race.

The scene has a British look about it. The car on the right has what looks like a British number plate and the man in uniform at top left looks like an AA or RAC patrolman. The cars parked right up to the road side suggest a hillclimb. I suggest it may be one of the many small hillclimbs that were held on quiet English roads in the 1920s. Although technically illegal, the police turned a blind eye until several accidents, including injuries to spectators, and increasing traffic levels forced them to clamp down.

Your attention for this picture is really astonishing; I post the unmodified picture so that you may, perhaps, obtein further informations. Remember that I don't know which is the race.

All just pure speculation. I could be totally wrong - particularly about the man in uniform.

This kind of speculation is the best part of this game, in my opinion, and it helps to improve our knownledge.
The plate seems French, and turned front lights suggest rough road, so an hill climb race may be possible.
