'''Marcus Marshall Motorsport''' (commercially titled '''Team IntaRacing''') was a [[auto racing|motor racing]] team that had competed in the [[Australia|Australian]] [[V8 Supercars Championship]].
==History==
An experienced campaigner in international motorsport as well as in domestic V8 Supercar racing, [[Marcus Marshall]] established his own race team for the 2009 season. He placed IntaBill owners Daniel Tzvetkoff and Salvatore Sciacca in operational positions, and the team acquired a [[Ford Falcon BF]] from [[Triple Eight Race Engineering]]. Marshall failed to finish the first race of the season in [[2009 Clipsal 500|Adelaide]].
After the non-championship round at the [[2009 Australian Grand Prix|Australian Grand Prix]], the team lost their title sponsor IntaBill as a result of the [[2007–2008 financial crisis]]. [[Whitegoods]] company [[Fisher and Paykel]] took title sponsorship for the [[2009 Hamilton 400|series' annual New Zealand round]] where Marshall had a spectacular crash with a tyre bundle in a chicane, before appearing sponsorless at [[2009 Winton V8 Supercar Event|Winton]] – and the Tasmanian claimed the track lap record in the second race.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EAExFXnxEQ|title=V8 Supercars : Marcus Marshall Crashes Into Tyre Bundle (Hamilton 400)|publisher="RaikkonenFan1992" on [[YouTube]]|date=20 April 2009}}</ref>
The team appeared at the [[2009 Falken Tasmania Challenge|Symmons Plains round]] with sponsorship from Sherrin Rentals, and confirmed their sponsored driver from the [[Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series]] – [[David Russell (racing driver)|David Russell]] – as the team's endurance race co-driver. Marshall finished a lap down in both races. The team remained in Sherrin colours at the [[2009 Skycity Triple Crown|Skycity Triple Crown]], however a potential sale of the team to the company failed and the team looked in financial trouble as Tzvetkoff was charged with [[money laundering]] in the [[United States]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.crash.net/v8/news/149169/1/intaracing-hits-new-hitch|title=New problems for IntaRacing?|publisher=Crash.net|date=30 June 2009}}</ref>
The team arrived in [[2009 Dunlop Townsville 400|Townsville]] but did not take to the track as the team could not find sufficient funding for engines, which had been paid for by Sherrin.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theadvocate.com.au/story/678726/150000-fine-further-damages-career-in-v8s/|title=$150,000 fine further damages career in V8s|publisher=[[The Advocate (Tasmania)]]|date=14 July 2009}}</ref> Marshall received an [[Australian dollar|AU$]]150,000 fine for failing to turn a lap at the event and he formally split with Tzvetkoff and Sciacca afterwards, selling the teams' Racing Entitlements Contract back to V8 Supercars Australia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.v8supercars.com.au/content/hero_news/august_2009/marshall_parts_ways_with_intaracing/ |accessdate=1 November 2019 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090821074757/http://www.v8supercars.com.au/content/hero%5Fnews/august%5F2009/marshall%5Fparts%5Fways%5Fwith%5Fintaracing/ | title=Marshall parts ways with IntaRacing | date=18 August 2009 | publisher=V8 Supercars |archivedate=21 August 2009 }}</ref>
