Schumacher will defend his title in karting

The seven-time Formula 1 world champion, Michael Schumacher, will defend his title at the International Challenge of Go-Kart Champs in Brazil, which will take place later this year.

Schumacher will lead a race that will see the top motorsport drivers compete on November 26 and 27. It is organized by Felipe Massa, originally from Brazil.

« To be honest, I didn’t even have to invite him to come back, » said Massa about Schumacher.

« He recently told me in Hockenheim that he is fond of the race because he loves the city and the relaxed atmosphere that can be found there. »

Massa will also be able to count on his opponents like Robert Kubica, Sebastian Vettel, or Sébastien Bourdais who will all participate in the event.

« We almost did everything to have Kubica join in 2007, but a last-minute hindrance prevented him from joining us, » he added.

He watched the event on a television set. Now, I am convinced that he will be able to take part in this challenge for the first time.

Massa also invited the four-time NASCAR Cup champion, Jeff Gordon.

« I met him at the Indianapolis GP a few years ago and we raced together in the Race of Champions in Paris. He seems to be a good guy and says he has always wanted to visit my country. It’s the chance of a lifetime for him, and I don’t think he will miss it! » added Massa.
