Good to see you back on Friends. Trust you are well.
You are right about Rosemeyer being married, he and his wife Elly Beinhorn Rosemeyer flew out to South Africa in her Messerschmitt Taifun. They both liked Kay Petre and Rosemeyer's teammate von Delius is said to have fallen madly in love with her in spite of her husband back in England. See "Rosemeyer" by Elly Beinhorn Rosemeyer and Chris Nixon.
I have read (perhaps in Autosport) that Prince Bira was motivated to take up motor racing after seeing Mrs Petre at Brooklands.
