Two racecars on a rainy day.

For one point, please respond and identify these two cars.

Was the photo taken between 1947 to 1950?

I don't have an exact year, but the time span could be right.

I will try to guess, Finke (VW eigenbau) and Neuber (NSU-FIAT)?

It is a VW-based car and a NSU-Fiat-based one, but I have different names. Locked for you.

I had a second look. Max Neuber was the driver of the NSU-Fiat, but the car was built for a German prewar racing driver well connected with (NSU-)Fiat. Still locked for you.

Sorry I have looked at  more German pages than in the rest of my live, I have no found any except 2 prewar German drivers for NSU Zinn and Soergel and I have done searches with them with no results so you can unlock the puzzle for giving chance to others. :-[

Can you please confirm - one car is an NSU-Fiat and one is a VW eigenbau? One driver IS Max Neuber (or are you looking for another name?) and the other has yet to be found?

Gunther Holz?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

I can confirm that, but I also want to know for whom the NSU-Fiat was built originally.

Was he better known as a motorbike racer?

Was the previous owner of the NSU-Fiat the same Adolf Reichwallner whose car has been a previous puzzle with a different body? He died in the war, and his car was raced post-war by Max Neuber. It had been rebodied in 1939 by Colli.

Yes, Adolf Reichenwallner is the name I was looking for.

Locked for you to find the driver of the VW.

The race number on the NSU-Fiat does not correspond with most of the entries made post-war with Neuber driving, There was a meeting at Rostock on 20.4.52 for which I cannot find race numbers, so I'm taking a gamble on that event.

Werner Kern ?

Not the name I have

I have 5 names, and 2 of them are the above and Hans Finke, who has already been discounted.

So - my next guess is Klaus Reinsberger.
