Fabian Schiller (born 24 May 1997) is a German racing driver who currently competes in theNürburgring Endurance Series.
Schiller began his racing career in karting at the age of 12, competing in the ADAC Kart Masters series. In 2012, he began competing in single-seater formula cars, taking part in theFormula BMW Talent Cup.[1] The following season, Schiller stepped up to compete in theADAC Formel Masters championship, competing for the Schiller Motorsport team run by his father and uncle.[2] He would finish 11th in his first season in the competition, scoring his first victory at theLausitzring.[3] After two years of competition and three race victories in the series, Schiller graduated to theFIA Formula 3 European Championship, signing withTeam West-Tec for the 2015 season.[4] However, with three races remaining in the season, Schiller was removed from his seat due to unsatisfactory performances.[5]
In March 2016, Schiller joinedMarc VDS Racing Team for the2016 edition of theRenault Sport Trophy.[6] Schiller found much success over the course of the season, winning both the individual AM class championship and the Endurance Trophy alongside co-driverMarkus Palttala.[7] That same year, Schiller made his first appearance at the24 Hours of Nürburgring, competing in the SP7 class.[8] The team would finish sixth in class, completing 85 of the leader's 124 laps.
At the end of 2016, Schiller announced that he'd be competing for Race Performance in the LMP2 class of theAsian Le Mans Series.[9] After winning his first race in the series atFuji, the team finished fourth at Buriram and second at Sepang, finishing fourth in points. For 2017, Schiller raced in theBlancpain GT Series Sprint Cup, winning the Silver Cup title with co-driverJules Szymkowiak.[10]
Two years later, Schiller made his debut in theIMSA SportsCar Championship at the2019 24 Hours of Daytona, driving for P1 Motorsports. After retiring, the entry finished 19th in class. Two seasons later, Schiller returned to the series, competing withDragonSpeed in the LMP2 class.[11] The team finished on the podium in class, four laps behind the second-placedTower Motorsport by Starworks entry.
Schiller embarked on two full-time programs in 2022, taking part in theADAC GT Masters andGT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup inMercedes-AMG machinery. For the ADAC GT Masters season, Schiller teamed withJules Gounon, driving for Drago Racing Team ZVO.[12] The team claimed four victories, finishing third in the championship and leading a championship-high 137 laps.[13] In GT World Challenge, Schiller joinedAl Faisal Al Zubair andAxcil Jefferies behind the wheel of a Silver Cup entry fielded under the Al Manar Racing by HRT banner.[14] The team claimed a class victory atCircuit Paul Ricard, finishing fourth in the class championship. Later that year, Schiller joined Valentin Pierburg in Team Germany's entry into the GT Relay competition at the2022 FIA Motorsport Games.[15] The duo swept the two qualifying races,[16] before finishing as runners-up in the medal race. Schiller closed nearly 30 seconds to the leading car of Eric Debard before a late safety car ended the race underfull-course yellow conditions.[17]
