So Awesome that he stil races karts and amazingly is so GOOD at it still!

I think he'll find it tuff though, since America has the very best Brazilian and Canadian karters as well as a couple of Italians have been making it over the last few years.

Although, Schumacher will be running with Andre's team and he has won in World Karting events before....should be interesting

Lol would be Epic if Denilo Rossi runs the event too. (one of the few drivers thought to possibly be on level with Schumacher)

UPDATE: Marco Ardigò will be Schumacher's team-mate in the event! LOL, holy cr@p!

should be Extremely tuff for the great Schu, but i'm sure he'll enjoy the challenge whatever happens

Micheal Schumacher, Sebastian Buemi, and Nelson Piquet Jr all are in Las Vegas this week to drive in the Super Karts USA Supernational meet. Here is a link the press release about MS:

I hope this dispells any notions about karting not being serious motorsport or that to do serious racing you need to spend $50,000 and countless man hours trying to convert a street car into something it wasn't intended to be. Get out from behind that computer, get a kart, and hit the track!

See you there.

Hope it brings some good PR and interest in Formula One.

WooHoo, what nice news! I'll be there for sure!

I wish I could go, because it sounds like there won't be any TV coverage to speak of. Would be sweet if Speed made a small show about it even if it was only a half hour.

Here's an update on a list of name drivers competing at the Supernationals:

Michael Schumacher (F1)
Sebastian Buemi (F1)

Glad to see some Indycar guys in there as well. I wish Graham Rahal would take a shot at this as well.

For anyone interested in following results, you can find all the practice, qualifying, and race sessions at the link below. The F1 guys are in the "superpro" class.

In the SuperPro class there are 4 practice sessions followed by a "SuperSession." PK Jr was DQed in the "SuperSession." I wonder why.
