Ginetta Junior Championship

He then went on to pick up his first win at Donington Park. Schwarze went on to accumulate two wins and 11 podiums over the course of the season, which was enough to crown him vice-champion.

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.

2025

Schwarze began the 2025 season in the GB3 Championship with VRD Racing. He scored three podium finishes, including a victory at Zandvoort.
He is also set to make his prototype debut in the Le Mans Cup in the LMP3 class for R-ace GP alongside Hadrien David.
