Could somebody point me in the direction of an entry list for this Grand Prix please?
I am trying to identify the car make and type, and also the driver for #18.
Thanks in anticipation

Feast your eyes upon one of the greatest websites on the entire internet:

Great - Thanks for your quick reply !
Renato Balestrero in a Maserati. Now I just need to work out the type and chassis number! I guess it must have been some variant of the 8C model.
I'd like to find a side elevation picture of this car.

Presumably you've seen this picture of the back of it:
These, taken at Avus three weeks later, are presumably the same car:

Thanks for the contributions gentlemen
Yes, I had seen the rear view photo thanks. This is what started my quest for more information - I am looking to build up a racing "special", and I like the simple and neat rear tail treatment of the Balestrero car as inspiration for my own. It would be nice to find a side elevation as this will greatly help to confirm proportions.
I love the early Maserati racing cars, so finding more out about this car would be nice anyway.
I have never seen such a tail treatment on any other of these cars and think it is unusual and quite possibly unique?
