Remain 3 off 550 from which I have identified 2 off
car race number 102 driven by the French pilot Jacques Houdusse
First time I qee this name
I did sole search and found a team Jacques and Pierre Houdusse who finish 26th on a Simca Aronde at the 1956 Tour Auto
Nothing else
I think Jacques had rented this car for the race as it wear a German plate from Stuttgart
