Any idea ?

How about Edwald Kluge , Renn ??

[Russell Burrows]

Really clueless Renn, other than a Deek, mid thirties, probably continental Europe. Is the bloke far left on a Rudge ?

Hi gents,

sorry to admit that I have no clue where/when/who with the exception of #2, he was extremely popular over here in these days as a racer on 4 wheels

Edit: Yes, this should be a Rudge on the far left. By the way, there was a German tuner named Brumm who made a cylinder head with 2 carbs for the 4 valve Rudge , which allegedly made the bike faster than the Rudge works machines

That is certainly Bernd Rosemeyer on, if I'm not mistaken, a 1934 500 works DKW - the one and only year he was in the 2-wheeled works team.

It was Hans Richnow who rode the Brumm-Rudge - he and the bike were both bloody quick, but I don't think that that's him on he left.

For a start, it doesn't look like a photo of him that I remember seeing once, and in any case, since the Brumm Rudge was a 350, it's unlikely that it would be alongside the 500s on a grid.

I don't recognise the background circuit furniture - it's not the AVUS, anyway!!

Jimmy Simpson providing the entertainment, somewhere in Sweeden. Late 20's Norton?

Sorry to be so long coming back on this one, gents.

Jimmie Simpson indeed, on a 500 Norton, winning the 1930 Swedish GP, run at Saxtorp.

Incidentally, No 34 is Syd Crabtree winning the 250 race (all classes ran together) on an Excelsior.

In a nutshell!!

Have to confess -- I have the programme . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Didn't expect that anyone remembers Hans Richnow, Larry. The circuit could possibly be the Eilenriede at Hannover, but it's more a guess.

Here is Hans Richnow at the Schottenring

Looking at the Rosemeyer photo again, Renn, and at your autographed card, that might just be Hans on the Rudge.

As to the 1934 Eilenriede, Toni Bauhofer won the 500, and Bernd was 4th, both on Deeks.

Interestingly, Hans R was out on the Brumm-Rudge in the 350 race and ran 2nd to Oskar Steinbach (NSU) until the last lap, when they both retired.

I believe that the Hanover race ran all classes together, which would perhaps explain both appearing in the same photo?

Pits stops are for whimps: can anyone ID this bloke?

George Shuttleworth. Rainbow.

Could have turned out not nice at all.
