His one Formula 1 race lasted just 250 yards, which was a great shame after Marco spent years trying to make it to F1. Won the Japanese Formula 3000 title and then looked set for a surprise return to F1 via the stillborn DOME project. He made a shock return to Formula 3000 after that, but after a spell in sportscars and GT's, he is retired from racing, and now works occasionally as a racing instructor, but mainly is a sales representative for the Stilo race helmet company.
