Scherer teamed up with Albert Costa and Kuba Smiechowski to score Polish squad Inter Europol's first World Endurance Championship victory last weekend, but had to race through the pain barrier after his left foot was run over by Nicky Catsburg's GTE Am Corvette during his first pitstop handing over to Smiechowski.
After Inter Europol adapted its run plan to give Scherer more time to rest, the Swiss got back behind the wheel six hours later and completed a total of eight hours and 20 minutes in the cockpit despite painful swelling that meant he took "maybe 15 minutes" to put his race boot on.
