Bertil Roos Racing School has hired former Skip Barber Racing School driving instructors. The news comes after the announcement that the school re-engineered and rebuilt a fleet of former Barber School open-wheel cars. Skip Barber Racing School announced bankruptcy in August 2017. 

Bruce MacInnes has professionally coached racing drivers for over four decades. As the senior instructor at the original Skip Barber Racing School, he tutored such high-profile drivers as Paul Newman and Tom Cruise, and NASCAR race winners A.J. Allmendinger, Boris Said, Ken Schrader and Jerry Nadeau.

Behind the wheel, MacInnes ranks among the most accomplished Formula Ford drivers ever and was twice named Formula Magazine “Driver of the Year.”

A veteran of America’s two most famous road races, the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring, he has successfully competed in a wide variety of production cars, Formula cars, & prototypes.

Divina Galica MBE is a sporting legend in her native Great Britain, representing the country in a number of Winter Olympics as a downhill ski racer. In 1973, Galica received the MBE (Member of the Most Excellence Order of the British Empire) from Queen Elizabeth II for services to sport.

A chance invitation to a celebrity race in 1974 led to a second career in motorsports. Since then, Galica has competed in a variety of series including Sports 2000, Formula 1, endurance racing and European Truck Racing.

One of the only five female drivers to have entered a Formula One Grand Prix, she finished 12th in the 1977 Formula One Race of Champions and started the 1978 BRDC International Trophy race.

She moved to the US in 1994 where she raced against drivers like two-time Indianapolis 500 champion Juan Pablo Montoya and started working as an instructor at the original Skip Barber Racing School.
