Sportscar career
2023: Le Mans glory
The Swiss driver remained at Inter Europol the following year, returning to the WEC on a full-time basis alongside Albert Costa and Jakub Śmiechowski. [18] The trio scored points in all seven races, even taking a podium at Spa, though the highlight of the season, as well as a personal success story for Scherer, turned out to come at Le Mans: during Scherer's first pit stop the Corvette Racing car drove over his left foot after he had exited the car, resulting in an incomplete fracture and ligament damage. [19] In spite of the pain, Scherer continued driving throughout the 24-hour event, even passing the WRT of Robert Kubica during the morning and holding on against a late charge from Louis Delétraz to cross the line first despite radio issues inside the final hour. [20] [21] [22] This result moved IEC into second in the standings, a position they would defend until the end of the campaign. [23] [24]
2024: United return
Scherer returned to the ELMS in 2024, partnering Paul di Resta and Bijoy Garg at United Autosports. [25] The trio scored a best finish of sixth place in three races and finished 11th in the standings. [26] Scherer also drove for Nielsen Racing at Le Mans, where an overnight collision caused by teammate Heinemeier Hansson caused the team to drop down the field; they went on to finish 11th in class. [27] [28]
2025: Ford DTM drive
Going into 2025, Scherer was announced as a GT3 junior driver at Ford, as part of which he re-entered the DTM with the Haupt Racing Team. [29] His comeback, at the wheel of the Ford Mustang GT3, ended with finishes of 19th and 18th at Oschersleben. [30] Scherer retired from the first race at the Lausitzring with an ABS failure, having previously drawn the ire of Jordan Pepper with an aggressive manoeuvre at the start. [31] [32] Having benefitted from chaos at the start of race 2 to progress from 22nd to ninth, Scherer was forced to retire again later on after a clash with Nicolas Baert. [33] [34] Scherer scored his first points at a rainy Zandvoort with 11th in race 1, but could not start race 2 due to a drive shaft failure. [35] [36] He then damaged his suspension with a crash in qualifying ahead of the Saturday race at the Norisring; it could not be repaired in time and Scherer missed out on the start. [37] Sunday's race ended prematurely after Scherer's Ford lost a wheel on lap 19. [38] Chaos continued at the Nürburgring, where Scherer spun in avoidance of Mirko Bortolotti on lap 1. [39] He finished both races in the lower positions.
Scherer achieved his best result of the season at the Sachsenring: having gained time and places during the pit stop phase, Scherer finished race 1 in eighth. [40] [41] More points followed in race 2 with an 11th place. A third points finish in succession followed in Spielberg, as Scherer started and finished 14th in race 1. [42] A drive shaft issue prematurely ended his Sunday race. [43] Two finishes in the lower midfield at Hockenheim consigned Scherer to a 23rd-place finish in the drivers' standings. [44]
During 2025, Scherer also made his GT3 Nürburgring Nordschleife debut, coming second in NLS9 alongside Jann Mardenborough and Dennis Fetzer. [45] He took part in NLS10 two weeks later, where he set a new NLS qualifying lap record with a time of 7:48.717. [46] Scherer and Patrick Assenheimer finished the race fourth overall and first in the SP9 Pro-Am class. [47] [48]
