FIA driver Graves donates autographed suit to Pattaya Orphanage auction
Tor Graves signs the
jumpsuit, gloves and shoes he used in this year’s FIA World Endurance
Championships.
Phasakorn Channgam
Thai racecar driver Tor Graves donated the suit he wore behind the
wheel during an October race to the Pattaya Orphanage for a charity
auction.
Born Sriachavanon Graves, the driver was part of the British team that
placed second in the Le Mans Prototype 2 class in this year’s FIA World
Endurance Championships.
Proceeds from the auction will be used to buy Christmas gifts for 160
children at the orphanage. “I am continuing the tradition of my father,
Bob Graves, who loved and always helped children there for more than 25
years.”
The suit is comprised of jumpsuit, gloves and shoes, with all three
pieces autographed, that Graves wore in while participating in the 24
Hours of Le Mans. He was the first Thai to complete the race circuit and
first to participate since 1954.
Pattaya Orphanage Director Fr. Michael Weera Phangrak said the children
were “lucky to receive this opportunity” and, with Graves’ help, more
people may learn about the orphanage’s mission.
