Early career

edit

Marschall began his racing career in karting at the age of 11, competing until 2013. He spent most of his karting career in the ADAC Kart Masters series, finishing as high as second in the KF3 class in 2010.[2] In 2014, he stepped into single-seater racing, competing in the ADAC Formel Masters series for the Lotus-branded Motopark Academy team.[3] Marschall would finish sixth in his opening season in the series with three race victories to his credit; one at EuroSpeedway Lausitz in May[4] alongside a pair of victories at the Hockenheimring to close the season.[5]

2015 saw Marschall leave the single-seater ranks after just one season, electing to compete in the opening season of the Audi Sport TT Cup.[6] In two seasons of competition in the series, Marschall collected seven victories and fourteen podiums, finishing third and second in the overall championship before joining Aust Motorsport for the 2017 ADAC GT Masters season. In June of that year, Marschall joined the BMW Junior Program.[7] As a result, Marschall moved to BMW Team Schnitzer for the 2018 ADAC GT Masters season, driving alongside Victor Bouveng.[8] The duo would finish 28th in points, collecting a lone podium at the Red Bull Ring. The following season, Marschall joined Rutronik Racing, partnering with Carrie Schreiner.[9] At Hockenheim in September, Marschall scored his first pole in the series,[10] which he converted to the duo's only podium finish of the season.

For the 2021 season, Marschall was promoted to Audi factory driver status.[11] In 2023, Marschall took on a full-time drive in the Pro class of the GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup, driving for Tresor Orange1 alongside fellow factory drivers Mattia Drudi and Ricardo Feller.[12] The trio claimed a single podium finish at the Nürburgring, finishing fifth in the championship. Marschall also paired with Andrey Mukovoz in Sprint Cup competition, competing in the Bronze Cup. The duo claimed two class victories, with Marschall starting the latter on overall pole position,[13] en route to a third-place championship finish.

The German returned to Rutronik in the Endurance Cup, driving in the Bronze Cup alongside Loek Hartog and Dustin Blattner.[14] Later in 2024, Marschall formed part of the Scherer Sport PHX team that won the shortest Nürburgring 24H in history, after over half of the race was red-flagged due to fog.[15]
