They look quite young, don't they?

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

I think that this is a big (approx. 125 HP) De Dietrich racer from about 1904.

Close enough, it is a De Dietrich 130 hp with Arthur Duray at the wheel. I think it is from the 1905 Gordon Bennett race.

The blanking out the background is rather crude - they missed the radiator of the car in the background!

(Mind you, even if they had blanked it off correctly, I still wouldn't have recognised it.
