If he was running brothels and night clubs he was no amateur!!
I read that that the 917 had been homolagated and its driver (John Woofe) deemed compendent to race. I just wish they thought more about people and banned him from buying the car in the first place. Even though they would had admitted the car was not safe!! And probable the CSI would have taken away the 917 homolagation. Until they were satisfied the car was safe to race. But of course they could not admit that.
