EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white portrait, we are transported back to the thrilling world of Formula One racing in 1978. Divina Galica, a trailblazing British driver, stands confidently beside her powerful steed - the Olympus Cameras Hesketh 308E. As one of the few female drivers in a male-dominated sport, Galica's presence on the track was nothing short of groundbreaking. Her signing for the 1978 World Championship marked a significant moment in motorsport history, as she defied gender norms and shattered glass ceilings. The photograph captures Galica's determination and passion for racing as she prepares to take on the challenges that lie ahead. With her helmet resting casually under her arm and an intense gaze fixed on some distant point, it is evident that she possesses both skill and tenacity required to compete at such a high level. Although Galica participated in only two Grand Prix races before returning to the British Shellsport Championship, her impact extended far beyond those limited appearances. She paved the way for future generations of female drivers who continue to challenge stereotypes within motorsport today. This image serves as a reminder of Galica's indomitable spirit and unwavering dedication to pursuing her dreams amidst adversity. It encapsulates not just an individual moment frozen in time but also symbolizes progress towards equality within Formula One racing – making it an iconic piece from Motorsport Images' collection.
