Hugo Schwarze (born 3 July 2006) is a German racing driver who is currently competing in the 2025 Le Mans Cup with R-ace GP, and in the 2025 GB3 Championship with VRD Racing.[1]

Early career

Karting

Schwarze only started karting in 2022.[2] He competed in the German and European Championship Rotax Max Challenge, and in 2023 he won Rotax Max Challenge Germany Wintercup in the DD2 category.[3]

Ginetta Junior Championship

In 2023, it was confirmed that Schwarze would be driving for Elite Motorsport in Ginetta Juniors.[4] He had a very strong debut in cars, picking up three out of three podiums in his first weekend.[5] He then went on to pick up his first win at Donington Park.[6] Schwarze went on to accumulate two wins and 11 podiums over the course of the season, which was enough to crown him vice-champion.[7]

GB3 Championship

On 25 January 2024, Elite Motorsport confirmed that they would be promoting Schwarze to its GB3 team, partnering McKenzy Cresswell and Jarrod Waberski. The German did not amass any podiums in his maiden campaign, but was consistent throughout the season, ending 9th in the drivers' championship with 219 points.[8]
