One of the support races at the 1971 German GP was a combined race for Formula Super Vee and Formula Vee.  Since I shot some images from this race as well, in addition to the Grand Prix,  I thought it might be an idea to post them here.  Unfortunately I don't have the race programme any longer, so there are a number of images where I neither know the driver nor the car (but I am sure there are people here who can identify them).  Among the starters, there were some future F1 drivers.

Harald Ertl in what?

One of the Finnish Veemax Mk V, but I have no idea who the driver is

For the last picture, the screen has a name on there. First name is Lasse but surname is indistinct but looks short and begins with an S so could it be Lasse Sirvio ?

 I didn't notice the name, but Lasse Sirviö sounds very likely.  He was one of the Veemax drivers in 1971 together with Mikko Kozarowitzky and Mika Arpiainen.

Harald Ertl was driving a Horag, and the Finish driver is Lasse Sirviö (ö according to the programm).
I have the programm here. If you need more informations I could scan it later.

Do you probably have a picture that shows a close up of the scruteneering stickers? It doesn't matter if it is a Formula 1 car, or Formula V or even a Touring car. As far as I know every car that was raced that weekend got the same.

No need to scan the programme, but if you follow this thread, you could perhaps provide the missing names on further images which I will post.  

 

Regarding scrutineering stickers, I don't think I have any close-ups.

Some more from the same race:

 

Embedded in the Super Vee race was a race for Formula Vee.  Here Kennerth Persson (Hansen Mk III) is ahead of a Kaimann.  Persson later moved up to Super Vee and became one of the more successful drivers during the 1970's.

Bertil Roos (Kaimann)

I think the car is a Fuchs.  Could it be Helmut Bross driving?

No idea of neither driver nor car

Oooops.

Yes, Helmut Bross in a Fuchs.

It's Bertram Schäfer driving a car build by himself. The programm just calls this car "Eigenbau" (homemade).

 

Oooops.

I think it is easier this way.

Thanks to Steffen's upload of the race programme, I am now able to identify cars and drivers.  :wave:

 

This is how Jochen Mass's race ended:

Huub Vermeulen.  Entered in a Kaimann, but surely the car is a Royale?

Some didn't make it to the finish...
