The guy in the middle right looks like he is from West Ham in London UK. He has the Hammers on his chest today used by West Ham United football club. When I was a young kid living in London UK I remember a speedway track in West Ham, Upton Park.

Clearly taken on same occasion as www.corbisimages.com/stock-photo/rights-managed/U59670INP... There it's given a date of June 1, 1917. But historicalzg.piwigo.com/index?/category/35-1917_actor_s_f... gives the date of the event at the Sheepshead Bay race course as June 23, 1917.

Some options at www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/1915.htm Clearly a "Touring" model. Fageol and Revere seem possible manufacturers. But www.earlyamericanautomobiles.com/1914.htm offers several more options.
