Here is a photo of an early 1920's German Schuricht racer:

 

 

 

Walter Schuricht built 4-cylinder powered small cars in Pasing, Bavaria between 1921 and 1925. I presume that the car in the picture was a modified version of the Schuricht road cars. The car featured a blue/white diamond livery.

 

Does anyone have any information on how the Schuricht fared in competition races?

Herr Schuricht appears to have only been involved with the company until 1923, after which it became the Bayerisches Automobilwerk and closed in 1925.

However, the information on the website you've found appears to be imperfectly sourced from this page:

There is a suggestion there that he ran in the 'Solitude-Rennen' in 1923, but this was actually the Stuttgart-Schloss Solitude hillclimb on June 17th. The Austrian AAZ, i/d July 1st, has a brief report which provides little more than the result - although there were apparently 350 entries and 100000 spectators!

Blue and white diamonds are of course Bavarian colours, as seen on the Bayern Munich badge and Christian Danner's helmet.

Ask a true Bavarian and he/she will tell you that the colours are NOT blue and white but white and blue!
