The rear looks like a Bmw. I guess Bmw 315 based.

I'm not an expert in racing history, but after quite a couple of hours of research, I found a belarus site (!) that shows a picture of a very similar car;  they say that Ralph Roese was its driver in 1939 Eifelrennen.  I hope this is what you were waiting for.

Another point to targhediferro for the correct answer.

His nephew Hans is pictured in another puzzle, driving what is probably the same car:

I wonder if a merger is needed?
