Morris Schuring (born 20 February 2005) is a Dutch racing driver currently competing in the LMGT3 category of the FIA World Endurance Championship with Manthey EMA.[1] He is notable for being part of the first lineup to win the LMGT3 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2024.[2]

Career

[edit]

Debut & Porsche Cup

[edit]

Having 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 Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. He improved in the latter series, finishing sixth in the championship with a maiden pole at the Red Bull Ring and a total of three podiums, though he would only manage a best race result of seventh in the former.[4]

Schuring got his first win in motorsports in the 2021–22 Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East, where he would also become runner-up to the title, with five wins, two pole positions, five fastest laps and seven podiums in the ten races.

In 2023, Schuring remained in the Supercup and the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany, 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 Circuit Zandvoort.[7][8] He finished fourth in the points standings.[9]

GT3

[edit]

2024

[edit]

After 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]

The remainder of the season was inconsistent, scoring no points in the 6 Hours of São Paulo and the 6 Hours of Fuji, only mustering a third-place finish as their best result of the latter half of their campaign at the Lone Star Le Mans, the race in-between São Paulo and Fuji. They ended their season with a fifth place at the 8 Hours of Bahrain and finished the drivers' championship in the runner-up position with 105 points.

With Herberth Motorsport, Schuring made his debut in the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup in the Bronze Cup alongside Ralf Bohn and Robert Renauer.[14] The first round at Le Castellet would bring in points, but the rest of the campaign was plagued by retirement and a did not start at Monza Circuit. Their best finish was a fourth place in their category in the final round of the championship at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. They finished the championship in 18th with 21 points.

2025

Schuring is set to make his Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters in the 2025 season with Manthey Junior Team.[15]
