Blind guess: Richard Weiser's car

As I haven't a clue about these, please unlock for the benefit of them who do

The entry lists abound with these eigenbaus. I think I'll try a different approach - is it the Nurburgring?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Yes, it is him at the 1946 Ruhesteinrennen. One more point for you.

I was a bit confused whether it was in a sports car race, or whether he'd removed the wings to race in F2. Then I found this poor-quality image.

Wasn't he sporting a #3 on his car at the 1946 Ruhesteinrennen? Just to clear this up.
