I remember the car but forgot the name... it's clearly american, and your "very important race" hint obviously meant Indy 500. Took a bit of googling there to come up with Smokey Yunick's Sidecar.

strad ,that´s correct -the car was unofficially called "capsule" car I saw it during a visit of the Indianapolis raceway museum as it was on special display there.
the capsule is really the absolute minium of enclosure or cockpit...frightening this...

the cars handling frightened the driver a bit and he crashed it on bump day ..so it never actually raced..
