From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prince Igor Nikolayevich Troubetzkoy (Russian: Игорь Николаевич Трубецкой, born 23 August 1912) was the driver of the first Ferrari to ever compete in Grand Prix Motor Racing. He drove a 2-litre Ferrari "Tipo" 166 in Monaco on May 16, 1948. Earlier that year he had won the Targa Florio with the Ferrari 166 Sport Allemano Spyder (chassis # 001S, only one built). He was married to Barbara Hutton, one of the richest women of the time, between 1947 and 1951.

His brother, Youcca Troubetzkoy, was an actor in French film during the 1920s and 1930s.
