Lancia-Ferrari D50 with experimental 'aerodynamic' nose.  Hard to say where although Monza and Reims would have been the sort of places such things would have been tried. Perhaps the latter ?

Locked for you for one try Willie McCrum.  That's Lancia Ferrari D50 but the real name is not "aerodynamic".
Give me the good name/model for this car.

Eugenio Castelotti at the wheel. He was always lumbered with the experiments and testing.

That looks like Fangio sitting on the pit counter - the face doesn't look quite right, but it's a distant photo, and he used to wear a cap of that colour and at that angle.
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
