Prince Bira of Siam Corners his E.R.A
Where: Monaco / Date: May 23, 1971
Prince Bira of Siam was an excellent prewar amateur driver who could often give the professionals a run for their money. Here he enthusiastically corners his E.R.A. during the Crystal Palace Cup race on July 1, 1939. He won the first heat but had to settle for 3rd place in the final. Before the start a minute of silence was observed in honor of Richard Seaman who had died of burns sustained at the Belgian Grand Prix the prior weekend.
