Grapevine: Schumacher back in racing action
Michael Schumacher will return to racing action later this year when he takes part in the "International Challenge of Go-Kart Champs" charity karting race
The event, which takes place in Florianopolis, Brazil, will take place on November 24th and 25th and Ferrari driver Felipe Massa, one of the organisers of the race, confirmed Schumacher would be there.
"At the moment, I am also working on the organisation side of the big go kart event we hold here at the end of November: it's a sort of race of champions, when lots of F1 drivers come and take part and this year, even Michael Schumacher is going to come over and join us, which I am very pleased about," the Brazilian wrote on his blog.
"It is giving me a change of focus at the moment and helping me to relax."
Seven-time champion Schumacher, Massa's teammate last year, retired from Formula One at the end of last season.
Twenty-five touring car and single-seater drivers will fight for the victory in a double-header format with aggregate results.
