This is not a quiz but a genuine request for information.

Car and driver would be nice, and anything else anyone can add.

The image shows Marcel Balsa in his BMW Special at the 1952 Coupe d'Automne held on the 21st of September at Montlhéry. Balsa won the up to 2000cc race.

I remember my joy when first reading about F2 at the Nürburgring, 1952 - amongst the drivers the euphonious trio Balsa, Nacke and Klodwig instantly lodged in my memory.

I’d add Klenk to that list, although sadly Kling wasn’t in that race. I love the combination of Kling/Klenk in the sportscar drives they shared.

Bernd Nacke always sounded a bit painful to me.
