Career
editDebut & Porsche Cup
editHaving started racing in karts, Schuring moved into car racing in 2020, driving in the BMW M240i Cup. The following year saw him progress to the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany series with GP Elite, for whom he would score a lone podium at the Hockenheimring to finish eighth in the standings.[3] During the same year he also made his debut in the Porsche Supercup, a series Schuring devoted his attention to in 2022, combining a campaign in the Supercup with one in PCCG. He improved in the latter series, finishing sixth with a maiden pole at the Red Bull Ring and a total of three podiums, though he would only manage a best result of seventh in the former.[4]
In 2023, Schuring remained in the Supercup and PCCG, moving to Fach Auto Tech.[5] This season bore fruit for Schuring, who became the youngest ever winner in PCCG's history at the Sachsenring.[6] In addition, the Dutchman impressed in the main series, leading from lights to flag at Spa and similarly dominating the subsequent race, his home event at Zandvoort.[7][8] He finished fourth in the points standings.[9]
GT3
editAfter making his GT3 debut in the final weekend of the Asian Le Mans Series at the beginning of 2024, Schuring moved into the newly formed LMGT3 class in the FIA World Endurance Championship, partnering Richard Lietz and Yasser Shahin at Manthey EMA.[10] After a pair of pointless races, the trio came out on top in a rain-affected race in Belgium, with Lietz taking the lead on the final lap.[11] Their crowning achievement, however, came at Le Mans, where a strong performance delivered Schuring and his teammates the class victory, making the Dutchman one of the youngest ever Le Mans winners at the age of 19.[12][13]
