Couldn't find anything for 1907.
In the 1908 GP de l'ACF/Dieppe the teams were
#13 Weigel - Harrison + riding mechanic Colman
#30 Weigel - Laxen + riding mechanic Robinson
#46 Weigel - Shannon + riding mechanic Deavis
(source = the contemporary French magazine "L'Automobile - Revue des Locomotions nouvelles")
Possible that Harrison and Laxen had the same riding mechanics in 1907.

Thanks Robert. I have the 1908 info.
It is possible they had the same mechanics in 1907.
I do know that Claude Bullmore bought Laxen's 1907 GP car and entered it in th 07 Circuit des Ardennes race. Bullmore acted as Laxen's riding mechanic (brave man) and after the race had a 2 seater touring body fitted for road use.
As this car was was 8-cylinders in line with a two speed gearbox, must have been interesting to drive!
