Morris Schuring

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. He is notable for being part of the first line-up to win the LMGT3 class at the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 2024.

Career Debut & Porsche Cups Schuring started racing in go-karts, moving into car racing in 2020 by 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 finish at the Hockenheimring, to finish eighth in the standings. During 2020, he also made his debut in the Porsche Supercup, and in 2022 combined participating in that series again with a campaign in the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany. Although he would only manage a best result of seventh in the 2022 Supercup, he improved in the Carrera Cup, finishing sixth in the championship with a maiden pole at the Red Bull Ring and a total of three podium finishes.

Schuring got his first race win in motorsports in the 2021–22 Porsche Sprint Challenge Middle East, where he was also runner-up to the overall winner with five wins, two pole positions, five fastest laps, and seven podium finishes over the ten races.

In 2023, after moving to Fach Auto Tech, Schuring participated in the Supercup and the Carrera Cup again. This season bore fruit for Schuring, who became the youngest ever winner in the Carrera Cup's history at the Sachsenring. He also impressed in the main series, leading from lights to flag at Spa and similarly dominated the subsequent race, his home event at Circuit Zandvoort. He finished fourth in the points standings.

GT3 class 2024 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. After a pair of races in which they earned no points, the trio came out on top in a rain-affected race in Belgium, with Lietz taking the lead on the final lap. However, their crowning achievement came at Le Mans, where a strong performance delivered Schuring and his teammates the class victory, making the 19-year-old Dutchman one of the youngest ever Le Mans winners.

The remainder of the season was inconsistent, with Schuring scoring no points in the 6 Hours of São Paulo or the 6 Hours of Fuji, and between São Paulo and Fuji only managed a third-place finish at the Lone Star Le Mans, the team's best result of the latter half of their campaign. 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.

Also in 2024, Schuring made his debut in the 2024 GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup with Herberth Motorsport, driving in the Bronze Cup alongside Ralf Bohn and Robert Renauer. The first round at Le Castellet brought in points, but the rest of the campaign was plagued by retirement and a DNS ("Did Not Start") at Monza Circuit. The team's best finish was a fourth place in their category in the final round of the championship at the Jeddah Corniche Circuit, resulting in them finishing 18th in the championship with 21 points.

2025

In 2025, Schuring made his debut in the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters with Manthey Junior Team.
