I don't think so. The photo was taken from an online page about this marque and French motor racing in general.

My French dates back to 1969 so it's a bit rusty, but I think that caption means M. Belorgey is from Burgundy - maybe he's the driver.

Neither of those names relates to this car I'm afraid.

 ;D.

The car is widely mentioned on the internet and I found numerous images and  website entries. It would help if you worked out which formula it raced in...........

Exactly. One more point to you.

Power was of course the Renault R8 Gordini. The car was named Elina after Beltoise's late wife.
