Brilliant Year

Hira has won the British racing Drivers' Club star for the second year in succession, after a brilliant year of driving. He spends a great amount on his hobby, and possesses probably more racing cars than any other driver. He has three ERA. two Delages, a Maserati and a Delahaye.

Raymond Mays, an official ERA. driver, was only three points behind Bira's 73 in the competition for the star. Arthur Dobson comes third in the list. and is one of the best of the younger drivers, who include Charles Martin, Reg Tongue, John Wakefield and A. Powys-Lybbe. P. G. Fairfield was easily in the lead for the star when he met his fatal crash.
