The team was formed by Matthew White in 2000 to further his own racing ambitions. Originally Matthew White Racing was a privateer V8 Supercar, specifically supporting White's career, but he took on a customer driver for the first time in 2002 and the team gradually changed over the next five years into a professional pay driver operation in the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series. The team made infrequent appearances at V8 Supercar endurance races.
The team was granted a wildcard entry for the 2009 L&H 500 and 2009 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.[1] Brad Lowe and Damian Assaillit drove the car to only modest results.
The teams greatest success was in the 2009 Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series when Jonathon Webb won the series winning all but one race in the second half of the season.
The team's current drivers are David Russell, Luke Youlden and Marcus Marshall, each of them driving Falcons in the 2010 Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series. Youlden and Marshall, endurance event co-drivers in the V8 Supercar Championship Series replaced previous drivers, Ant Pedersen and Team Kiwi Racing customer car driver Matthew Hamilton after both drivers pulled out of the Fujitsu Series after the third round of the series.[2]
