Someone is obviously trying to win a race here.
Who? With what? When and which race?

Yes, that's ‘Karratsch’ at the wheel of a Mercedes, but not an SSKL. I don't know the name of the co-driver, it's not the Mille Miglia and it's not 1931 either.
So: Keep up the good work!

That was really quick! Yes, Rudolf Carracciola won the 1930 Irish Grand Prix in the Phoenix Park in Dublin on a Meredes SSK, despite a violent spin.
