Who's driving, which car at which race? Let me give you two points for this one - one for the driver and car, the 2nd for the race!

Experts?

Well it's a 30/98 Vauxhall but the who and where are not as easy.
Tom Plowman's car looked quite similar so if it's his car perhaps he's the driver and he won the Long Handicap race at Donington on 17/4/37 so perhaps that's the race.

3 out of one. It is a Vauxhall, but neither the driver or the race took place in the UK. Locked for you to dig a little deeper

Not being a Vauxhall expert I can't get any further, although I might guess at Hungary for the location!
Please unlock and let one of the others have a go at it!

The 2nd is almost there - which race in Hungary? Don't let 2 points slip away

! Still locked

I'm sorry to say that I can't get anywhere with this, so please unlock it and let someone else finish it.

Oh well, unclocked

Professionals?

I think this photo may be from one of your books. Is it available online?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #10 on:** March 25, 2019, 11:07:54 AM »

I do not think it is available online, but it is not impossible to identify the car and/or the race

Is it a hillclimb event ?

Svab ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2019, 12:17:04 PM »

Yes, the picture was taken at the Schwabenberg Hillclimb race. And it is a Vauxhall

Two out of three. Locked for nicanary to find the driver!

I can't find much on the net. Is it 1928?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2019, 02:12:27 PM »

no, earlier. Still locked. Just think about how international was this race

nicanary · « **Reply #17 on:** March 26, 2019, 05:06:49 AM »

I'm not finding much information, and I don't expect you to keep this locked forever. Is the driver British?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #18 on:** March 26, 2019, 07:15:04 AM »

no, not a British driver

unlocked, not Hungarian driver

European driver ?

Allan L · « **Reply #23 on:** March 26, 2019, 09:16:56 AM »

1923 or later as the 30/98 has front wheel brakes . . .

nicanary · « **Reply #24 on:** March 26, 2019, 03:09:43 PM »

Austrian driver?
