Early life and education
Fabio Scherer was born on 13 June 1999 in Engelberg, Switzerland, and holds Swiss nationality.[1] He is the son of a motorsport enthusiast father who competed in karting for 15 years and won the Swiss National Championship eight times, an influence that played a key role in introducing him to the sport.[7] Scherer developed a passion for racing from a young age through his father's involvement, gaining initial exposure by starting go-karting at the age of eight in 2007 as a hobby.[7][8]Karting career
Scherer began his competitive karting career in 2009 at age 10, entering the Swiss national series in the Mini category.[7] Over the subsequent years, he progressed through various junior classes from 2009 to 2013, including ICA Junior and KF3, racing primarily with Swiss teams and chassis such as Birel and Tony Kart.[2] In 2014, at age 15, Scherer dominated the Schweizer Kart Meisterschaft in the KF3 category, clinching the national Junior Championship title with multiple race victories.[2] The following year, he stepped up to senior competition, winning the Swiss Championship in the X30 Senior class and securing additional regional podiums in Switzerland.[9] Scherer also gained international experience, competing in events like the Trofeo delle Industrie in Italy during 2012 and 2014, as well as rounds of the FIA European Karting Championship in 2015, where he achieved top-10 finishes such as seventh in Kristianstad and ninth at PF International.[10] These results highlighted his adaptability across circuits in Switzerland, Italy, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. His karting successes, including back-to-back Swiss national titles in 2014 and 2015, attracted attention from single-seater teams, leading to testing sessions in Formula 4 cars late in 2015 and securing a full-season drive in the ADAC Formula 4 Championship for 2016.[11]Single-seater racing
Formula 4 seasons (2016–2017)
Scherer entered single-seater racing in 2016 with the ADAC Formula 4 Championship, a German-based series featuring the Tatuus F4-T014 chassis, Abarth engines, and Pirelli tires, racing for Jenzer Motorsport. As a rookie, he accumulated 26 points over the season, finishing 17th overall with no podiums aside from his maiden victory in the final race at the Lausitzring, where he switched to slick tires on a drying track to charge from a low starting position.[12][2] He also competed in nine rounds of the Italian Formula 4 Championship with Jenzer, recording mid-pack results such as ninth-place finishes and ending 29th in the standings with 3 points.[2] To build winter experience ahead of the European season, Scherer joined Rasgaira Motorsports in the inaugural Formula 4 UAE Championship, a testing-oriented winter series using similar Tatuus-Abarth-Pirelli specifications. He secured eighth place overall with 83 points from eight races, highlighted by a pole-to-flag victory at Yas Marina and two additional podiums, marking his adaptation to international competition.[2][13] In 2017, Scherer switched to US Racing for a full ADAC F4 campaign, showing marked improvement by finishing fifth in the championship with 154.5 points from 21 races. His results included a lights-to-flag win in the second race at the Sachsenring amid chaotic conditions, three podiums, and six top-five finishes, reflecting progress in handling variable weather and mechanical reliability challenges from prior seasons.[2][14] Across his two Formula 4 years, Scherer achieved three victories, establishing a foundation for higher categories through consistent point-scoring and tactical racecraft.[2]FIA Formula 3 European Championship (2018)
Scherer progressed to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship in 2018, joining Motopark Academy and competing in the Dallara F317 chassis powered by a Volkswagen engine. As a rookie, he adapted to the series' demands following his Formula 4 experience, which provided a solid foundation for the step-up in competitiveness and car handling. The season consisted of 10 rounds across Europe, with Scherer focusing on consistent midfield battles amid a field dominated by Prema Powerteam drivers.[15][16] At the season opener in Pau, Scherer showed promise by finishing fourth in the rain-shortened third race, marking an early highlight despite challenges in the narrower street circuit layout. His standout performance came at Spa-Francorchamps, where he secured his maiden podium with second place in race two after a intense duel with teammate Dan Ticktum, though tire degradation proved difficult in the variable conditions of the Ardennes weekend. Scherer also delivered consistent top-10 finishes at the Norisring, placing 10th in the amended first race, and at Zandvoort, where he ended fifth in the red-flagged third race, demonstrating improved pace on high-speed circuits.[17][18][19][20] Scherer concluded the season 14th in the drivers' championship with 64 points, reflecting steady progress in a rookie campaign marked by occasional mechanical setbacks. Motopark Academy, bolstered by strong results from drivers like Ticktum and Jüri Vips, finished second in the teams' standings with 800.5 points behind Prema.[21][22][21] Throughout the year, Scherer benefited from Motopark's robust engineering support, which aided his development in setup optimization and racecraft during testing sessions at tracks like Spa and Zandvoort. Post-season, he participated in evaluations for the 2019 FIA Formula 3 Championship, ultimately securing a seat with the Sauber Junior Team by Charouz, allowing him to remain in the category for further growth.[16][23]FIA Formula 3 Championship (2019)
For the 2019 season, Fabio Scherer joined the Sauber Junior Team by Charouz, partnering Lirim Zendeli and Raoul Hyman in the inaugural FIA Formula 3 Championship, which served as a support series to the Formula One World Championship. The team fielded the new Dallara F3 2019 chassis equipped with a Mecachrome V6 engine and Pirelli tires, marking Scherer's transition from the previous European Formula 3 series to this more competitive, F1-aligned grid of 30 cars. At the season-opening round in Barcelona, Scherer qualified 17th in a session dominated by Prema Racing, reflecting early adaptation challenges to the car's aerodynamics and the intense field.[24][25] Scherer's campaign featured flashes of potential amid qualifying inconsistencies and on-track incidents that limited his progress. His strongest performance came at Silverstone, where he qualified ninth—his best of the year—finished 16th in Race 1, and charged to eighth place in Race 2 for 4 points, one of several points finishes contributing to his season total of 7 points. He recorded multiple top-15 finishes, including 15th in Race 1 at Hungaroring after starting 22nd, but was hampered by poor starting positions and retirements, such as a DNF in Barcelona's Race 2 due to contact. These setbacks, including qualifying woes at tight circuits like Hungaroring, underscored the team's struggles with setup optimization in the new series.[26][27][28][29] Scherer concluded the season 17th in the drivers' standings with seven points. The Sauber Junior Team by Charouz finished 8th in the teams' championship with 15 points, as the squad grappled with reliability and pace in its debut year. Despite the modest outcomes, competing on F1 weekends provided valuable exposure to high-level environments and international media, enhancing Scherer's profile. Post-season, his participation in the DTM rookie test at Jerez, where he impressed in an Audi, directly led to a full-time seat with WRT Audi for 2020, bridging his open-wheel experience to touring car racing.[30][31][32]Sportscar career
DTM debut (2020)
Following his season in the FIA Formula 3 Championship, Fabio Scherer transitioned to GT3 machinery in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) for 2020, signing with Audi Sport Team WRT to drive the Audi R8 LMS GT3. The squad, entering its second year in the series, fielded a young lineup including Scherer alongside teammates Harrison Newey and Ferdinand Habsburg, all DTM rookies, with the team emphasizing development over immediate results amid the steep learning curve from single-seater racing. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the schedule, condensing it to eight double-header rounds across Europe starting in August, rather than the originally planned ten.[33][34][35] Scherer's adaptation to the GT3 car's closed-cockpit design, downforce characteristics, and tire management proved challenging initially, but his open-wheel experience aided in building pace on technical circuits with variable conditions. Key highlights included a top-10 finish at the Lausitzring in round 2, demonstrating improved handling in dry-wet transitions, and his strongest showing at the Zolder double-header in rounds 7 and 8, where he claimed twin fifth-place results in the second race of each weekend—his first points in the series—while also securing his best qualifying of fourth place during the event. These performances underscored his consistency as a rookie, particularly in mixed weather, though mechanical issues and penalties limited further breakthroughs elsewhere.[34][36][37] Scherer concluded the season 16th in the drivers' standings with 20 points, a solid debut effort in a year dominated by Audi, as teammate René Rast secured the title with nine victories. Team principal Vincent Vosse highlighted Scherer's promise, noting the rookie's rapid progress in mastering GT3 dynamics despite the series' competitive field of established talents.[2][34]LMP2 transition (2021)
In 2021, Fabio Scherer shifted from GT sprint racing to endurance prototypes, joining defending LMP2 champions United Autosports for the FIA World Endurance Championship. He partnered with experienced teammates Phil Hanson and Filipe Albuquerque in the #22 Oreca 07 Gibson, contesting all six rounds of the season.[38][39] Scherer's adaptation to the LMP2 category was swift, aided by the endurance stamina built during his 2020 DTM campaign. The trio secured victories in the opening round at Spa-Francorchamps—Scherer's WEC debut win—and at Monza, where they led a safety-car interrupted race to claim class honors. They also earned a podium third place at Portimão, rounding out a strong mid-season with consistent top-five results at Fuji and Bahrain.[40][41] Scherer made his 24 Hours of Le Mans debut at the Circuit de la Sarthe, sharing the #22 entry with Hanson and Albuquerque, but the car finished 18th in LMP2 after completing 328 laps amid challenging conditions.[42] Overall, Scherer's efforts helped United Autosports mount a title challenge, finishing second in the LMP2 teams' standings, while he placed fifth in the drivers' classification with 84 points.[2]ELMS and IMSA campaigns (2022)
In 2022, Fabio Scherer expanded his endurance racing portfolio by committing to a full-season campaign in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) with Inter Europol Competition, driving the #43 Oreca 07-Gibson in the LMP2 class alongside teammates David Heinemeier Hansson and Pietro Fittipaldi. This program built on his prior experience in the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship LMP2 category, allowing him to refine his skills in multi-hour races while targeting consistent points finishes across the six-round season. Scherer's efforts yielded one podium result, a second-place finish at the 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, where the #43 entry capitalized on strong strategy and pace to challenge for the win before settling for runner-up honors behind United Autosports.[43] Despite the Spa highlight, the season presented challenges, including at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, where the #43 car finished 14th in LMP2 after completing 364 laps. Balancing the European schedule with transatlantic commitments added logistical strain, but Scherer maintained reliability in other rounds, contributing to the team's third-place finish in the LMP2 teams' standings with 79 points. Individually, he ended the drivers' championship 12th with 20 points, demonstrating solid consistency in a competitive field dominated by Prema Racing's title-winning effort.[44][45][46] Concurrently, Scherer made his IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship debut with High Class Racing in the #20 Oreca 07-Gibson LMP2 entry, partnering with Anders Fjordbach and Dennis Andersen for select endurance events: the Rolex 24 at Daytona, 12 Hours of Sebring, 6 Hours of Watkins Glen, and Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta. The program emphasized adaptation to American ovals and road courses, with the team achieving a breakthrough fourth-place class finish at Watkins Glen after battling for a podium amid on-track incidents, including contact with Racing Team Nederland's entry. Results were mixed elsewhere, with 11th at Daytona following a spin while leading LMP2, 12th at Sebring, and fifth at Petit Le Mans, underscoring the demands of integrating U.S. racing into his ELMS commitments without major mechanical retirements beyond Le Mans.[47][48]Le Mans victory (2023)
In 2023, Fabio Scherer competed full-time in the FIA World Endurance Championship's LMP2 class with the Polish squad Inter Europol Competition, driving the #34 Oreca 07-Gibson alongside Jakub Śmiechowski and Albert Costa.[49] The season marked Scherer's continued progression in endurance racing, building on his prior LMP2 experience from 2021 and 2022, where he had honed skills in long-stint management and team coordination. Over the seven-round campaign, the trio delivered consistent results, securing podium finishes at Spa-Francorchamps, Portimão, and Fuji to help Scherer claim second place in the FIA Endurance Trophy for LMP2 drivers with 114 points.[50] The pinnacle of Scherer's 2023 season came at the 91st 24 Hours of Le Mans, where Inter Europol achieved its maiden FIA WEC victory in LMP2. Starting sixth in class after qualifying, Scherer took the opening stint in damp conditions, navigating light rain to maintain position early on.[51] The race turned dramatic just seven laps in during the first pit stop, when the #33 Corvette C8.R inadvertently ran over Scherer's left foot as he exited the garage, causing an incomplete fracture to his mid-foot and ligament damage.[52] Refusing to withdraw, Scherer returned to the track in visible pain, later stating he was determined to win "no matter what it cost."[53] Despite the setback, the #34 Oreca methodically climbed the order through strategic pit stops and efficient fuel management, particularly in the latter stages amid heavy traffic from GT cars. By the race's midpoint, the car had taken the lead, which teammates Śmiechowski and Costa defended through the night. Scherer completed multiple stints post-injury, contributing to the team leading the final 112 laps of the 379-lap event. The Polish entry crossed the line 21 seconds ahead of the #41 Team WRT Oreca, securing the LMP2 class win and full points haul of 50.[54] Post-race, Scherer was hospitalized for assessment, confirming the foot injury but no broken bones requiring surgery; he described the victory as emotionally overwhelming, dedicating it to the team's resilience.[55] This triumph, Inter Europol's first at Le Mans since entering in 2019, significantly boosted Scherer's profile as an endurance specialist, highlighting his grit under adversity and paving the way for future opportunities in the series.[3]Return to United Autosports (2024)
In 2024, Fabio Scherer rejoined United Autosports for a full-season campaign in the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) LMP2 class, driving the #23 Oreca 07-Gibson alongside Paul di Resta and Bijoy Garg. This reunion built on his successful 2021 stint with the team in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), where they secured multiple victories. The lineup focused on consistent development and podium contention amid United's ongoing expansion into European endurance racing, emphasizing reliable setups and strategic pit management over aggressive risks.[56][6] Scherer's ELMS season delivered steady mid-pack performances across all seven rounds, with the team's best result being a sixth-place finish overall at the 4 Hours of Imola in July, where clean stints and effective tire management allowed them to climb from ninth on the grid. Accumulating 27 points, Scherer tied for 11th in the LMP2 drivers' standings, reflecting a campaign marked by no major incidents or retirements that could have derailed progress. The effort prioritized testing aerodynamic and suspension tweaks aimed at future competitiveness, contributing to United's broader program growth.[57][58] Complementing his ELMS commitments, Scherer made select endurance appearances, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans as part of the WEC calendar, where he co-drove the #24 Oreca 07-Gibson for Nielsen Racing with David Heinemeier Hansson and Kyffin Simpson, finishing 11th in LMP2 after completing 291 laps—20 laps behind the class winners. Although not a full WEC program, these outings maintained his exposure in the premier series with consistent mid-pack results at events like the 1812 km of Qatar and the 6 Hours of Imola, underscoring a season of consolidation following his 2023 Le Mans triumph.[59]Ford DTM and endurance racing (2025)
In 2025, Fabio Scherer returned to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters (DTM) after a five-year absence, joining Haupt Racing Team (HRT) Ford Performance as part of Ford's factory-supported program marking the manufacturer's first full-season DTM involvement since 1989. Driving the #64 Ford Mustang GT3, Scherer was named an official Ford Performance GT3 Junior Driver, a role that supported his integration into the team's development efforts alongside teammate Arjun Maini. This comeback built on his rookie DTM experience from 2020 with Audi, where he had shown promise before transitioning to endurance racing.[60][61] Scherer's season began strongly at the Sachsenring opener, where he capitalized on strategic pit stops to finish eighth in Race 1, his best result of the year and the highest for a Ford entry. He maintained consistency with finishes typically in the top 15, including 15th at the Nürburgring and 16th at the Hockenheim finale, despite challenges adapting to the Mustang GT3's setup and occasional mechanical issues like a drive shaft failure. These efforts culminated in a 23rd-place finish in the drivers' standings across the 10-round championship, reflecting steady progress for the new Ford program without podium contention.[62][63][64] Complementing his DTM commitments, Scherer participated in select rounds of the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS), racing the #9 Ford Mustang GT3 for Haupt Racing Team in the SP9 Pro-Am class. At NLS9 (ADAC Barbarossapreis), he shared driving duties with Dennis Fetzer and Jann Mardenborough, securing second overall after a strong recovery drive in variable conditions. In the season finale at NLS10 (Sportwarte Trophy), Scherer set a new qualifying lap record of 7:48.717 on the Nordschleife, earning pole position and contributing to a fourth-overall finish and class victory alongside Fetzer and Patrick Assenheimer, as the Fords led a 1-2 in their category.[65][66][67] The hybrid sprint-endurance schedule allowed Scherer to balance DTM's high-intensity sprints with NLS's longer stints, fostering adaptation to the Ford platform while remaining injury-free throughout. Off-season testing focused on future prototype programs, building momentum for his continued GT3 and potential LMP involvement.[68]Racing record
