I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Perhaps it's a Derby . . .

Exactly!

That was a case of me using the power of deduction. I could guess that it was 1920-22 from the style of the car, so I went to the entry lists for voiturette races of that period and looked for a French car which was based on a production car. A.Morin was entered in a car with the race number 2. Et voila!

Should the thread title include the word "Voiturette"?
