Fully focussed at the wheel of a monoposto.
Who is it? Where and when? With which racer?

Thinwall Special - Ferrari 375

[sichel]

It is a Ferrari 375, but not the Thinwall Special. Locked for you for three attempts.

Has this been edited to remove race numbers?  It isn't obvious

[sichel]

If the start number was obvious, you should already have the solution, right?  ;-)

That isn't what I meant.  I consider it is simple courtesy to make it clear when you have edited a picture, particularly for those viewing a puzzle on a smartphone.
Initially I didn't realise it had been doctored and was looking for a 375 without numbers.  Then I realised and asked the question for everybody's benefit, including knewit, who has the puzzle locked to him.

[sichel]

All right, thanks for the hint.

Driver is Gonzalez - British GP 1951

[sichel]

Yes, it is José Froilán González at the British GP 1951 in Silverstone. He finished the race as the winner and knewit finished this puzzle with one point more.
