You need to a find race who became more known after the 2nd WW and who appeared on AP before. His family has been mentioned in the Röhr history.

Has this racer raced with a BMW-based Eigenbau ?

sometimes - in the pre-war era. In fact he brought the puzzle car to a race, but instead he raced a BMW special there :)! In the post-war era he raced with other sports cars

Thank you Robbie / ropat53 for the hint!

This looks like what I wanted to post as a new puzzle.

According to a photo I made just the last weekend in the nice and interesting Museum of Ober-Ramstadt,
this is a Röhr Junior race car built by (Kurt?) Delfosse.

The Gesellschaft für die Verwertung von Industrieanlagen bought the Röhr factory in November, 1935, following the Röhr bancruptcy. But the sale was annulled in May, 1936, by a Darmstadt court.
