Divina Henton

Divina Philippa Henton (born July 12, 1986 in London, United Kingdom) is a race car driver who has been competing in the TM Master Cup Series. Henton is one of the many female drivers backed by Lynxe to assist in their racing ambitions. Like her good friend Alexis Rainsford, Henton is known for her fashion sense and for not being intimidated easily on the track.

2011
Henton spent her rookie season driving for the uncompetitive Trevor Carrington Racing outfit before being dropped midway through the season, despite scoring points on two occasions. Henton's efforts were noticed by Lynxe, who picked Henton up as a sponsored driver. When Alexis Rainsford announced her switch to Champ Car, Henton was one of the two drivers (Packer Carroll being the other) that were selected to take Rainsford's place. Despite a strong run during the race in Quebec, Henton did not gain as much attention as Carroll had.

2012
Henton controversially was signed by Volpi to drive for them in 2012 alongside Carroll, however some felt that Chris Davenport may have been a better fit for the team. Some of the controversy still lingered even though it was discovered that Rainsford suggested Henton would be a better fit for the full-time seat. Rainsford and Henton are known to be good friends off the track.

Henton is largely considered an unknown despite a sterling effort in the 2011 Round of Quebec, and there are concerns that Henton may be a bit out of her depth. During preseason testing, Henton silenced some of her critics by matching teammate Packer Carroll.

During the first race at Las Vegas, Henton ran very well but was caught out by the first yellow flag and as a result did not finish as well as she hoped, even though she scored points. But at the next event, the 2012 Round of Georgia at Road Atlanta, she showcased that she would be a threat on the road course events by scoring her first career podium finish, 3rd, vaulting her all the way up to fourth in the points standings. She suffered a setback at Carbondale, finishing out of the points in 25th position. She bounced back with a 9th place finish at her home race at Brands Hatch after surviving the chaos.
