Wonderful job! Helle Nice was a kind of a celebrity in the 30's. Some say that the girl name "Elenice" in Brazil was inspired by her visit to race in the first São Paulo Grand Prix in 1936. She unfortunately crashed her 8C in the race, killing six people, and stayed in the hospital for two months, being in the press all this time, which "engraved" her name in people's minds. There's a very bizarrely modified 8C in a museum near São Paulo which there's rumors about being a rebuild of her crashed car.
