It was in this car that Bira established the national motor racing colors of Siam: pale blue with yellow. Later that year Prince Chula presented Bira with one of the new ERA voiturette racing cars, R2B, for his 21st birthday. Bira nicknamed the car \u201cRomulus\u201d after the founder of Rome and son of Mars, the God of War in Roman mythology. In this painting entitled \u201cRomulus\u201d by Graham Bosworth, Bira is seen driving R2B at Crystal Palace in July 1939.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
