A racing star, at least at the radiator :).

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

I don't know, as I have just the name of the car, of the driver and the venue. I wasn't able to find out more about the car.

That front suspension looks very Talbot-Lago. Is it the Talbot-Plate?

As I said before, I just have a name (and it is none of the known ones). The radiator star wasn't put there by me.

Is the venue a circuit or a hillclimb?

Now I found my source again. It was on a well-known circuit, but not Pau.

Is it an FS, a Chaucy or a Georget? ( I've never heard of any of them but they raced in 1948)
