An anorak writes; as well as Wyatt, the other references I can find on my shelves are in Mike Hawkes and David Venables. Mike Hawkes mentions the Eifelrennen race round the Nürburgring on 14th June 1936 attributing 5th overall to Baumer, who took the first of the two places for the 750cc class. Venables says that Baumer had to yield fourth place to Lehoux, confirming fifth overall. This was the last event to have a cyclecar class of 750cc, it is interesting that a class for 800cc cars is mentioned at Bremgarten. Baumer certainly proved pretty fast at Berne, finishing just one lap down from Dick Seaman's winning "Delage", who managed to beat the ERAs yet again.
