I think it's FWD. Is it DKW based?

It is a DKW from 1931, but not at Avus racetrack.

I guess the single large headlamp means it was being used for long-distance records attempts.

Montlhery?

Yes, the picture was taken at a record attempt in Montlhéry. One more point for you.

By the way, the car has been featured here before, but in its 1932 guise with a more aerodynamic front: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/solved-wendax-473-dkw-f-1-by-koenig-fachsenfeld

Pity the PR man couldn't spell the name of the circuit! ;)

Not a PR man, but a German classic car journalist.

A nice metal plate from the car dealer whose advertising can be seen behind the car has survived:  :)
