Of course, in 2017 the Ferrari GTO got pretty banged up. Kudos to these guys for taking them out and running them hard.
Absolutely! There was just an article in either R&T or C&D about a particular 917 that the correspondent was going to get to drive on track. It got rained out, so instead he waxes philosophic about the "morality" of driving such important historical artifacts. He goes back and forth, rightfully arguing that driving them today can in no way add to their provenance, but in the end he makes a very good case for doing so. The biggest crime, the most immoral end for these grand old machines, would be to drain them of all fluids - symbolically their "lifeblood" - and park them in a museum, silencing them forever.
