Tim Franz Scheerbarth (born 8 February 1989) is a German racing driver who competes in the Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring for Mühlner Motorsport. A Nürburgring specialist, Scheerbarth is the overall 2011 VLN Series champion and a four-time class winner of the Nürburgring 24 Hours.

Personal life

Scheerbarth studied automotive engineering at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences. Alongside his racing career, Scheerbarth is a driving instructor at Scuderia Hanseat.

Career

Scheerbarth began his racing career in 2007, competing in the Nürburgring-based VLN Series. In 2009, Scheerbarth joined the VLN Honda Junior Team, before switching to Team MK Motorsport for 2010. Moving to Black Falcon for 2011, Scheerbarth won the overall VLN Series title and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in the V5 class. The following year, Scheerbarth clinched the VLN title in the V6 class and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in V5. After stepping up to SP7 in 2013, Scheerbarth made his GT3 debut in the SP9 class the following year in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 for Black Falcon, as well as finishing second in the V6 class of the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.

A season split in four different categories then followed, headlined by a class win in the Cup category, before Scheerbarth won the SP7 title in 2016 for Black Falcon, two consecutive titles in Cup 2 for GetSpeed Performance and Mühlner Motorsport, as well as the SP10 title in 2019 on his return to Black Falcon. Returning to Porsche one-make classes for 2020, Scheerbarth was runner-up with 9und11 Racing Team in the Cup 2 standings, as well as finishing second in SP7 at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for W&S Motorsport. Moving to W&S full-time for 2021, Scheerbarth won the Cup 3 title, as well as winning the 24 Hours of Nürburgring for Schaeffler's Space Drive Racing in a steer-by-wire 2017-spec Mercedes-AMG GT3.

In 2022, Scheerbarth continued with W&S Motorsport to compete in the newly-established Porsche Endurance Trophy Nürburgring in the Cup 2 class, taking two class wins en route to fourth in points. After another race-winning campaign in 2023, Scheerbarth bounced back to finish runner-up in 2024, as well as winning the 24 Hours of Nürburgring in Cup2 Pro with Black Falcon. Returning to Mühlner Motorsport for 2025, Scheerbarth dominated PETN by taking seven out of ten wins to clinch the Cup 2 title, before returning to the team the following year to compete in both PETN and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring.
