No

Is the "well-known fast car" sounds-like name an German marque?

[Otto Puzzell]

Ja

[4popoid]

Since you say: "The driver's name (first name - nickname and second name - family name) almost sounds like the name of a well-known fast car from the same period", and since we now know that the "well-known fast car from the same period" sounds-like name was/is German marque, can we safely conclude that the said Germany marque is not currently being produced, but was a major marque in its time period?

The brand still exisits

[4popoid]

Is the "sounds-like" German brand Benz?

[Otto Puzzell]

Yep

[Tom_I]

So does the name sound something like "Blitzen Benz"?

So it's not Blitzen Benz, but Blitzen Bean, pictured at a gold mining site operated by the Canadian Klondike Mining Company, Yukon Territory, July 1913.
