🇨🇭 Fabio Scherer

Scherer is a professional racing driver competing in GT endurance racing and national-level championships for HRT Ford Racing. Gold-graded in FIA categorisation, he races a Ford Mustang in GT World Challenge Europe and competes in the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie, a national German endurance championship. His current Racer Rating of 4,087 places him at professional level, a competitor who beats established peers in head-to-head racing but typically finishes behind faster drivers in the same fields.[1]

His record spans eleven seasons from 2016 onwards across single-seaters and endurance racing. In junior open-wheel competition, he took two wins in 37 ADAC Formula 4 starts and raced FIA Formula 3 European and Formula 3 without major results; he has 26 combined starts across those two series with a single podium finish. His move into sportscar racing began in 2021 with Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and developed into regular endurance competition. In World Endurance Championship, he has taken three wins and four podiums across 15 starts for Nielsen Racing, primarily in LMP2 prototypes. His European Le Mans Series appearances have yielded one podium from 12 starts, also in LMP2. He has maintained a presence in the German domestic racing scene, competing in DTM since 2020 with 24 starts and entering the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie as a current regular.[2]

Scherer races in fields populated by established professionals and experienced amateurs. In DTM and ADAC Formula 4, he competes alongside Jonathan Aberdein, a FIA Gold-graded professional and regular opponent with whom he is closely matched; he has spent much of his junior formula career finishing behind Juri Vips, an established professional who moved through to Formula 2. In his endurance racing, his capability against the grid's top drivers has shown in isolated instances: he finished ahead of Max Verstappen once in Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie and ahead of Alex Palou, an IndyCar champion, on five occasions across their meetings.
