ec: It's a clich, but as you have an older brother who also races with some success, what goals would you like to achieve, on the track and off?
MF: I don't see what my brother's achievements have to do with what I want to achieve. Our careers have traveled different roads. First, I'd love to win the ALMS championship. For me, I got into sports cars to compete and win at Le Mans. It's been frustrating to only have one start at Le Mans so far in my career, but I think the financial state of the world has had a lot to do with that. That aside, I want to go out on that podium at 4 p.m. on Sunday afternoon and look over the sea of people and lift up that legendary trophy. I've got an amazing picture in my mind when I think of that and I'll keep giving my all until I can make it a reality.
ec: As of this moment, list your five favorite racecars of all time.
MF: Can't do it, I'm going to have to go with ten. Porsche 917/30 Can Am, Porsche 956/962, Ferrari 250 GTO, Porsche 3.0 RSR, 1999 Toyota GT1, Maserati T61 3.0-liter Birdcage, Ferrari 333 SP, Porsche 908/2 and 3, McLaren MP4/8 F1, Jaguar XJR14
ec : You finally had enough of those `Marino cleaning up with a Dyson vacuum cleaner' jokes?
MF: No chance. Everyone thinks they're the first one to come up with it, so who am I to burst their bubble?
