And maybe it has to do with other licenses and contracts he already has
signed with other companies. It maybe that they are the ones that are
preventing his "likeness" from appearing in GPL. Jackie's got quite a
few irons in the fire.

is he the only guy that drove in 67 that is still alive? if not, have any of
the drivers commented on GPL at all?

It was quite a few years ago now, maybe 10, I'm not sure. Denny was
racing in the 1000km touring car race at Bathurst, Australia. I
remember because I was watching the race on TV.

and now that cannot withhold it for licensed products of the FIA.
