Sunday’s second race, in the “Louis Chiron” A1 Series, pitted pre-war Grand Prix cars and voiturettes, Starting from pole position after dominating free practice on Friday, Irishman Paddins Dowling did everything right to make his dream come true and pass the chequered flag in the same position: “It’s a privilege to drive here, in these cars, although I’m far less talented behind the wheel than the drivers who raced here, before the war“, reacted the happy and modest winner of the day, in a 1936 ERA R5B. A car that had belonged to Prince Bira, a gentleman driver of the past century. The now-defunct British firm even managed a one-two finish, with 2nd place going to Canadian Brad Baker, in an ERA R10B that once belonged to Nick Mason, the former drummer of Pink Floyd. The princely podium was completed by England’s Michael Birch (Maserati 4CM), in the same order as on the starting grid.
