boestar Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 (edited) He survived this only to be back on the track 5 weeks later. THIS is his claim to fame (that and 2 F1 world Championships.)

QFE Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I think he was also one of the 1st buyers of the Global 7500. He already had a Global 6000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 From a bank loan to buy his way into F2 racing in 1971 to a $100M fortune. Not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
