Married to Tatiana Fittipaldi, doughter of Emerson Fittipaldi Papis earned the nickname "Mad Max" at the 1996 24 Hours of Daytona during his last stint at the end of the race when he drove his collision damaged Ferrari, the bodywork held togeather with tape, and proceeded to bang out some of the fastest laps of the entire race. One of the most startling sights ever at the 24 Hours of Daytona was Papis' full-speed shot (~200 mph) down the pit lane for fuel (pit lane speed limits were imposed the very next year). He still lost with 64 seconds. He is the son-in-law of Emerson Fittipaldi. His sons' godfather is fellow Italian Alex Zanardi. Now runs a racing related company, https://maxpapisinc.com/
