They made an exception because he was famous. Imagining they'd do the same thing for Taylor Swift if she was still under thirty.

Also he made it clear that he was taking the car to the track which also violates the company's rules. I know that at the famous German Nurburgring race track you cannot take normal rented cars out there. If you want to do so they charge a premium of (if I remember) of 50% more. They trace their cars and if you do take a normal rental out on the track you will be charged quite a penalty.
