TV dinners, thumb wars with my teammates and we play with fire extinguishers in the hotel. IN seriousness, we're in bed by 10 and really boring. The most interesting guys have the shortest careers.

I think there's a certain culture and roll to play as a driver representing a brand like Porsche, much like another manufacturer or sponsor, there's guys that fit within the brand itself.

Flying Lizard was my ride in 2012 and then in 2013 I drove with Dempsey at Le Mans and Core in ALMS.

Pink Pig.

It's pretty boring. Plain pasta, grilled chicken is sort of the go-to racing driver meal and I admit I'm sort of a conformist on that front. It's just what we eat. It's light on the stomach, carbs and protein sort of digest easily. It's just the bland plain endurance drivers have found works.

I think the larger the tire the less degradation is an issue, ultimately no matter how good your car is its four contact patches are a key element, so we're constantly working with our partner Michelin to learn and evolve on the tire front.

I enjoy street cars but I don't have enough time to work and play on them at this point, sort of become obsessed with '70s and '80s 911s. The trick is the space.

I'm old school so I prefer a manual, I have an '86 911 that i drive pretty regularly and I enjoy the shifting element.

I'm not there often. He's a pretty upbeat and engaging guy. So when I see him he's pretty charged up and happy to be part of the Porsche family. He doesn't live far away, so he can come in for the day and get home.

It's tough to beat Road America, but the Glen is pretty close. Internationally I like Pau, and Le Mans is tough to beat, there's so much flow combined with top speed that there just aren't tracks like that.

No, but that might be a good race.

That's a good question. I think turn 5 (carousel) is a pretty incredible corner in the long configuration of the track.

It's always a case-by-case basis. Top customer teams receive driver and engineer support from Porsche, but there are times on off-weekends where we're allowed for a private team that we've organized ourselves and in that case you're sort of "released" as a factory driver and you're independent.

Favorite ever... that's a tough one. It's hard to argue against a '73 RS, but I'm in the process of building a '72 E. That's my first one I've owned.

That car actually was both a Core and Flying Lizard 2012 RSR. Lots of success and memories.

My heroes are the versatile drivers that sort of ruled the '50s and '60s, like Parnelli or Mario who'd race a sprint car, sports car and indy car in one week. Those days are sort of gone from motorsports.

Absolutely.

No. But I've had worse comparison questions than that. (NNapoleon Dynamite or some shit).

V8 Supercars is unbelievable series, it's sort of a merger with a NASCAR road car race and a sports car race, and the drivers and teams are as high of a natural level as I've ever competed with. I think the old school technology of the cars is unique and makes a great spectacle. They'd hate that I said that but it's…

I'd be lying if I said "no," the obvious goal is to never veer from the path of complete concentration but there are things that certainly distract. Id on't want to be a downer, but I talked about this on the Dempsey Doc, but losing a competitor in the race and having to stick to the highest level of concentration…
