I think that may be one of the Stars taking part in the Gordon Bennett Eliminating Trials on 30 May 1905 on the Isle of Man.

I confirm that the photo was taken in 1905 (I suppose that the car dates the same year, but I have no confirmation of it). If this car ran in Gordon Bennett, I don't know. I can just tell you that this photo was not taken in the race Gordon Benett

The various countries that sent cars to take part in the Gordon Bennett races held Eliminating Trials to determine which of their cars & drivers were the best. Great Britain held its Trials on 30 May 1905 on the Isle of Man and the GB race itself started on 5 July '05 (near Clermont Ferrand in the Auvergne).
Whilst the car looks like the GB Star, I've now seen a photo which shows that the Star did not have mudguards at the Isle of Man.

Tough one Bertrand, but I think it is a big French made Radia 40/45 CV from about 1904-1905.

...And you think well 4popoid.  Good job.  I have just Radia 1905, and the photo took at the "course de côte de Gaillon" (course de côte - Hill Climb) in France.
