International Motor Sport was an ARLA Elite Series team that only ran the 2011 season. Their only driver, Mumba Kumangu, gave the team their only win at St. Petersburg.

Closure
With two races to go, team CEO Yevgeny Koroktev was arrested in his Moscow home for "for embezzlement and racketeering schemes and ties to the Russian mafia", Russian police said. Russian police said that the team owner had ties to the mafia for about twenty years, and was involved in a variety of illegal gambling and racketeering schemes. The raid at Korotkev's house, a gigantic mansion, uncovered bizarre crime franchises for the racing owner, including one million dollars worth of drugs, an illegal animal fighting ring that supposedly brought in over 100,000 dollars for Korotkev, and management files to a bootleg merchandise empire with locations in Russia, the former USSR and eastern Europe, and parts of China. Motorsports insiders suspect that Korotkev's drug stash was not for illegal distribution, but for his own habit, as Korotkev seemed frantic and zombie like by some at his appearances at races contested by his team, and he had various encounters with the law with local police forces.

Though most of the team's international leaders have been arrested, most of the cars the team fields in it's various championships still pledge to run the last remaining races of they respective leagues. The local owners of the #152, for example, have issued a press release stating they have "no ties" to the Russian leadership of the team, and will run the last remaining ARLA races at Decatur and Rockford.

The team was looking into running the 2012 season, but Yevgeny's arrest proved to be too much and the team folded shortly after Rockford.
