Ralf Schumacher will test a Mercedes C-Class DTM car at Estoril on Tuesday, the team have confirmed.
The German, who won six grands prix during his Formula One career, has been left without a slot on the 2008 F1 grid.
Speaking to the official DTM website, a Mercedes spokesman said that the test had been arranged between Schumacher and Norbert Haug a long time ago, but this week was the first opportunity for the 32-year-old to drive the car.
Autosport.com understands that Schumacher will be one of six drivers at the Portuguese track, including former F1 driver Christian Klien. However, Mercedes did not confirm which versions of the C-Class will be used.
The former champions have not confirmed their driver plans for 2008 yet, but they added that a driver shootout was not taking place this week.
