re: Patrick Dempsey - you wouldn't hire him for top flight for the same reason Bayern Munich wouldn't have signed Michael Schumacher - there is a high profile name known as a keen and very able hobbyist in the sport and there is stretching the limits of credibility in employing them.
The best Patrick Dempsey could possibly be would be a silver category driver. He drives in GTE AM (and before in LMP 2) because they are required to have a "gentleman" driver and aren't allowed more than one platinum or gold driver. In LMP 1 on the other hand, with a free choice, it is rare to find even a gold driver. It's normally platinum all the way for the top teams.
