Michael Schumacher to race in Karts in 2013

So, apparently he withdrew from the event after the first practice, in which he was about 1 second slower then Verstappen...

You got a source for that? That would be sad indeed. He doesn't figure in this list of drivers who took part in practice. http://www.wskarting.it/results/ES/2013 ... f?update=4

They only mention this in the Dutch article on GPupdate. The English version doesn't mention anything about the times.

Thanks. Here's the english link http://www.gpupdate.net/en/f1-news/2912 ... ing-event/

No mention of the 1 second gap here. That would place him 3rd from last, which i really dnt see as possible. Whatever the reason, its sad that he didnt race.

He also drove at Lonato few weeks ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miI8m7jLAzI

if you check the times from the Video time line, then u get times around 42 seconds which is very fast. 2012 he was better than the record lap as well. 41... something.

Its annoying to see how difficult is to find reliable sources about what has really happened.

now we know why he retired form Karting Event...
he was here -> http://www.crash.net/f1/news/188762/1/m ... heels.html

now back on 2 wheels (I hope soon to find a video from this "event")and maybe a moderator should change the thread name from "Michael Schumacher to race in Karts in 2013" in "Michael Schumacher race in 2013"

and also an interview with him: http://www.michael-schumacher.de/sites/ ... s.html#540

Kartcom says that Schumacher will race at Varennes sur allier in september for the KZ world championship round in france and that he retired because he thought he was not fully prepared to be competitive (he was 0.2 sec slower than his team mate).

maybe but to be honest a comeback in German Super Bike it's more important than any kart race maybe in future he will join WSBK but really i don't know why he quit auto competition and choose something more risky

Its not a big gap, but its Michael so I am sure he wants to be faster before he takes part in a race.
