He started racing at the age of 8. He raced in karting championships for seven years. In 2003, Harald participated in Formula BMW testing and in 2004 he drove in Austrian-Swiss Formula BMW championship. Simulanteously, he was a driver in Formula Renault 2000 Scandinavia. The results were high, as the young driver became the Austrian-Swiss champion and was the best Rookie of F-Renault 2000. He continued with German Formula BMW in 2005. Schlegelmilch was good enough to promote in German Formula Three. He scored a few wins. His team, HS Technik decided to go to Formula Three Euroseries taking Harald with them. They started testing very late, so results of first races were poor. But as the time was going, Harald was showing better and better pace each race, until he won a race.

In late October 2007 he tested a Trident GP2 car. It was announced at December 2 that he will drive in International Formula Master with Trident in 2008 and his father also said that his contract makes him the first reserve driver in 2008 and the main driver in 2009 for Trident GP2 team.^[1] He also drives in GP2 Asia Series in 2008.^[2]
