Rookies will love this one. What are these 2 cars called, who are the drivers, what is the race, and what are the engines in the cars? It's easy once you find one answer!

That's an excellent guess, but way off the mark, I'm afraid.

Sweden ?  Background looks like Kristianstadt (or whatever) where the Swedish sports car GP was held.  Was there ever a 'libre' race held there ?
In that case it might just be Jo Bonnier in front but.......

Not Sweden, but you are getting much closer geographically.

Yes, Soviet Union, in fact Russian I think. But the engine is not Moskvich.
