Born into the Thai royal family with a thirst for adrenaline and adventure, Prince Birabongse Bhanudej (1914-1985, nom de course B. Bira) was a successful racing driver as well as a pilot and sailor. “Though Bira is best remembered for his Formula 1 career and his participation in the sport’s first ever grand prix, it was in his pre-war racing that the Thai prince truly excelled. Motorsport at this time was a far more amateur affair, with wealthy men (and indeed the odd woman) lavishing money on loud, expensive and very dangerous machines to race on tracks and public roads. While there were professionals on the scene representing major manufacturers, there were many more drivers who raced for the sheer excitement and had no thought of ever making money from the sport. Bira was among them. And he was among the best of them. In 1935, his debut year of competition, the 21-year-old prince finished second at both the Grand Prix de Dieppe and Berne. The following year he won the Coupe Prince Rainier – a support event to the Monaco Grand Prix – as well as the JCC International Trophy, Grand Prix de Picardie, and Albi Grand Prix” (Weeks).
