Racing career
John started racing in his forties, going to the track with friends. He quickly got a taste for it and signed up to a US racing school to fine-tune his skills.
Schauerman has raced in a range of classes including F3 and LMP3, and in 2018 he made his debut in the Michelin Le Mans Cup – a series he’s raced in every year since.
In 2020, Schauerman and United Autosports joined forces, contesting the Michelin Le Mans Cup with co-driver Wayne Boyd. The duo have raced together at tracks around Europe, including the Circuit de Sarthe which hosts the Road to Le Mans – the support race before the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans. In 2023, the team are on their fourth consecutive season together, with multiple podiums under their belt – and their sights set on more.
It was incredible seeing him on the podium during the early part of the season.
