Shumacher Senior in Karting World Championship
Quote:

Wanting a holiday and making the most of what free time he has would seem to be at odds with the fact Michael is already committed to take part on the final round of the karting world championship on 28th October in Kerpen. As the four time champion explains, karting is not like a job to him, but more a way to just relax and have fun and he has invited anyone that's interested to come along and watch.

"Not a problem" he maintains. "For me, karting is a pleasure, a relaxation and a holiday. There's no pressure, no work and no expectations, so it's just for the fun of driving. Karting is a passion for me. As I've said before, I just love racing; the duelling, the competition and the wheel to wheel combat. And in karting, you get all this to a maximum. I have dreamed of taking part again in a top level international karting race for a long time now. I guess it will be a no-win situation: if I win everyone will say it was to be expected but if I lose, I will look like an idiot. But I'm not bothered about that. I just want to drive and race against these guys who are real professionals. Today, racing in karts requires a lot of fine tuning and accuracy. This is the type of challenge I am looking forward to confronting again. I have not had much time to race over the past few years, because usually I have been working very hard right up to the very end of the season and of course, I have had to concentrate entirely on Formula 1. But this year, the championships were decided relatively early and so I have been karting a bit more often. For example, last Tuesday, before going to Suzuka, I had a go at it with Jos Verstappen. So now, I really can't wait to race in Kerpen and anyone interested in karting is welcome to come along."
