A record holder for skiing downhill at 125mph. One-time holder of the lap record for F1-cars at Donington Park. Made Member of the British Empire for her sporting activities. After an invitation to a celebrity auto race, Galica surprised everyone with her driving talent and took up racing as a second career. Since 2005 she works with iRacing (online racing simulation) as a Director of Client Relations for the company. Divina always kept her racing licence active, appearing occasionally in Barber races. Most recently she has been competing in US historic events, in cars such as the Brabham BT37 raced by Carlos Reutemann and an ex-James Hunt Hesketh.
Divi is sometimes called "queen of speed".
Divina came to fame as Britain's most successful lady skier of all time. No one has come close before or since.
