Scherer ended up 16th in the standings, last of all full-time competitors.^{[citation needed]}

Scherer moved to prototypes in 2021, driving in the LMP2 class of the FIA World Endurance Championship.^[10] Driving alongside Filipe Albuquerque and Phil Hanson at United Autosports, Scherer began the year with a win during his debut at Spa-Francorchamps before having to miss the next round due to COVID-19.^[11][12] The trio took another win at Monza, though they would only finish the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 18th thanks to a mid-race alternator failure.^[13][14] Scherer ended the year fifth in the standings.^{[citation needed]}

Scherer remained at Inter Europol the following year, returning to the WEC on a full-time basis alongside Albert Costa and Jakub Śmiechowski.^[19] The trio scored points in all seven races, even taking a podium at Spa, though the highlight of the season, as well as a personal success story for Scherer, turned out to come at Le Mans: during Scherer's first pit stop the Corvette Racing car drove over his left foot after he had exited the car, resulting in an incomplete fracture and ligament damage.^[20] In spite of the pain, Scherer continued driving throughout the 24-hour event, even passing the WRT of Robert Kubica during the morning and holding on against a late charge from Louis Delétraz to cross the line first despite radio issues inside the final hour.^[21][22][23] This result moved IEC into second in the standings, a position they would defend until the end of the campaign.^[24][25]

Scherer achieved his best result of the season at the Sachsenring: having gained time and places during the pit stop phase, Scherer finished race 1 in eighth.^[41][42] More points followed in race 2 with an 11th place. A third points finish in succession followed in Spielberg, as Scherer started and finished 14th in race 1.^[43] A drive shaft issue prematurely ended his Sunday race.^[44] Two finishes in the lower midfield at Hockenheim consigned Scherer to a 23rd-place finish in the drivers' standings.^[45]
