Bernard Tapie, one of Europe's most colourful tycoons has died at 78. He once owned Adidas, and entered politics etc. Apparently he was also a racing driver.
From the France24 obituary
Tapie started by selling televisions by day in the working-class Belleville quarter of Paris while trying his hand as a crooner by night and as a racecar driver. But he soon ditched these early pursuits and amassed a small empire by the time he was 30 by taking over failing companies, scooping up 50 within a few years, and reselling them for millions.
Any info. on where he raced and with any success?
