Amateur driver who later became a team boss in the sport. Got his money for racing through his textile business. Schoeller hadn't really envisaged on a major driving career and largely competed in hillclimbs in Switzerland but when he bought Ecurie Espandon from his friend Peter Hirt (who himself gave Schoeller a crack at Grand Prix racing) in his fifties, he became directly involved, running the team in the 1953 German and Swiss Grand Prix's. He shut the team down in 1954 and left the sport thereafter.
