The only country which regularly used fancy race numbers like that was the US. Is this North America?

The type of engine is not actually clear.  It could conceivably be a Corvair.

Working on the assumption that this is Interlagos, I've uncovered some fantastic websites which have kept me amused for some time. I can't find this image, but it's a lot like cars that were raced under the name Pato Feio, otherwise Patinhos Feios, or "Ugly Ducklings".

Am I on the right track?

No, I'm afraid you're not.  It's not Interlagos...

It's 1971, the track is Aratiri, and it's the opening meeting for the new track. The driver is Brazilian Jose Baldo, and the car is described as a 2-engine prototype. He finished 5th in the race after leading. ( I suspect the engines are VW). May 9th 1971 - Aratiri track is in Ascuncion.

(How the heck do you find these sites???? This one took me ages of trawling the net and heading up dead ends - I've never heard of this place!)

Exactly.
That's the beauty of the internet: just type in a couple of crucial keyworks and you're only one click away from the most obscure sites in faraway lands!  If only I could find answers as easily as I can find questions...!

Well done.

Perhaps AP should run a masterclass on how to search the web, as I'm utterly useless at finding things on it, beyond the basics... :(
