Topic: Enigma Variations (Racing edition)

[Wendax]

My laptop has been refusing to work since Sunday night. I have to find the puzzle solution somewhere in my external hard disc drive. That will take some time.

Good luck...

I'll take the opportunity to gain a point with the very hard to find information I have about car #7: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/solved-autopuzzles/grob-2016-12-09-(02) 

[knewit]

car 6 (Bulla ) was built by Gottfried Vollmer from Essen-Werden in 1948 and raced from 1948 to 195, from september 1950 to July 1952 it was raced by Hans Weiland from Oberhausen (see arms on the car) . From July 1952 to 1954 Bulla from Essen raced the car before it was sold to the GDR and entered by BSG Motor Treptow for Kurt Schulze

[knewit]

No 7.
The car (#44) was raced by Karl Heinz Vagt in the Hamburger Stadtparkrennen 1949 in the 1100cc class.. The car was based on the Kdf -Wagen/Volkswagen. Vagt used it as a roadcar as well and offered the car for sale in 1950.

[knewit]

Race number #100 is the streamlined version used at Hockenheim of Helmut Polensky's Monopol F2 from 1948/49. It had an BMW 328 engine

[knewit]

No 8 (#153)
The car is the so called FWB Nachwuchs built by F.Weber from Berlin. First raced at Interzonen Rennen, Berlin the by motorcycle specialist Bernhard Petruschke. The picture is from Sachsenring 1953 driven by Franz Höftmann. Of coures you can call it a Volkswagen Eigenbau or special.

Thanks for this additional information.

Yes, we had that car here: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2016-45/grob-2016-12-09-(02)/msg424495/#msg424495

Very good, that earns you two points, as this is a Black Hole puzzle.

Great! I take your word for it, as the car is unknown to me. Two more points to your score.

Good to see two more mysteries solved after more than four years.

No 5 is another VW Special/Eigenbau. Again Hamburg Stadtparkrennen 1949 #42 driven by Günter Schorr. Perhaps it was used late by Finke (1950-52) with litte updates.

[Wendax]

Exactly! Two more points for you.

[grobmotorix]

Could this also be the Schorr / Finke car #5?

[knewit]

That's the question. I thinks the picture shown by you is from Schauinsland 1950.  Schorr racced the car only in 1949. Finke didn't race in 49. From 1950 he used the car shown by you. But I think it has some modifikations.

[Wendax]

Grob, here's "your" car in Dessau, 1950, at the very left:

[knewit]

It's Finke again. He won the 1100cc class.

[grobmotorix]

Thank you.
