Locked for you to think about the type. Manufactorer, driver and year are ok.

The type designation is wrong. Think about the year...

Hello, you are referring to the BMW 269, but the one in the picture is a Lola T102 (or BMW 268) to me.
From what I could find the 269 never raced with the rear wing configuration set high, but always low.
The T102, with the wing up, ran at least until the end of April 1969. For me it is a 268 (T102) ....

Please have a look at cockpit-fairing, wheel-suspension and engine-fairing.

You're right, Bmw f269, the photograph dates back to 27/04/1969 at the Nurburgring ....

So, you'll get the point. Yes, the picture is from the Eifelrennen 1969, the first appearance of the 269.
