Career[]

Junior formula[]

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 the Formula BMW Talent Cup.[1] The following season, Schiller stepped up to compete in the ADAC 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 the Lausitzring.[3] After two years of competition and three race victories in the series, Schiller graduated to the FIA Formula 3 European Championship, signing with Team 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 joined Marc VDS Racing Team for the 2016 edition of the Renault 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-driver Markus Palttala.[7] That same year, Schiller made his first appearance at the 24 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 the Asian Le Mans Series.[9] After winning his first race in the series at Fuji, the team finished fourth at Buriram and second at Sepang, finishing fourth in points. For 2017, Schiller raced in the Blancpain GT Series Sprint Cup, winning the Silver Cup title with co-driver Jules Szymkowiak.[10]

Two years later, Schiller made his debut in the IMSA SportsCar Championship at the 2019 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 with DragonSpeed in the LMP2 class.[11] The team finished on the podium in class, four laps behind the second-placed Tower Motorsport by Starworks entry.
