Marcus Marshall

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marcus Marshall (born November 25, 1977) is a former Champ Car driver from Australia. Before that he raced in British Formula Three, where he was generally a backmarker but took a fluke win in a wet race. He contested 12 races in 2005 for Derrick Walker's renamed Team Australia Racing. A lack of experience blighted his year and he scored only two top-ten finishes, the best of which was 8th in Edmonton. He was fired and replaced by Will Power prior to the season finale in Mexico City after what was described as a "serious breach of contract".

On February 12, 2006 Marcus raced for A1 Team Australia in round 8 of the A1 Grand Prix series at the Sentul International Circuit in Indonesia and finished third in the feature race, behind Canadian Sean McIntosh and Malaysian Alex Yoong. In 2006, Marshall is racing full time in the touring car V8 Supercar series for Paul Cruickshank Racing. His best race finish is 9th at Winton.
