I know very little about this car. What is it, and who is the driver?

Almost certainly. The name is in French style and I reckon it's 99.9% that it's built in that country.

Yes, that's the car. Nothing to do with Jean Rondeau as far as I can make out.

LOCKED for you. Can you find the name of the driver?

Well, I don’t know my french, and translator is my next best thing, so im gonna play the guessing game here..

Im assuming that ‘Jean du MANS’ relates to Jean Rondeau.

So I can only assume that ‘Nello (2 L) CHELI (1 L)’ are names. Are any of those the names of the driver?

Nello Cheli is correct, although the French contributors to that website argue about that as well. Well solved indeed - another point to you.
