Question Another mystery car, place and driver

OK - It's been pretty quite here of late. Here's' another Who? - What - Where? and When? to puzzle over.

Can anyone answer any of the 4W's for the following?



Here's another picture in context



Just in case you can't see the driver clearly, here is the driver...



BTW -- He went on to win the class.

Well it's a Kangaroo, is it Mitter? Solitude? '65?

Sorry John, didn't mean to ruin your fun.

That was just one that stuck in my brain, the kangaroo had only
one win...solo - Solitude, mit Mitter. It's weird how trivia will stick
in your mind while the important stuff leaks out as through a sieve.

I hope that you and Curt will keep posting these mystery photos.

Don't worry Jim -- I'm over it!

BTW; here's the very interesting web site that has a huge amount of information about the circuit, the cars and the drivers. I guess they will be having some sort of reunion next year. If I'm lucky I may be in that area since a lot of my family is near Stuttgart. I've only seen the track via GPL, but it definitely falls into the Spa/Le Mans style. A number of long straights through pine forests and a very challenging section next to a river with about 10 or 12 S's. I seem to remember Gurney saying that they were all different, but it was almost impossible to keep track of them.

I guess I need to dig deeper now...
