Seven-time Formula 1 racing champion Michael Schumacher may be on a Honda CBR1000RR at the IDM International German Motorbike Championship. There are perception too he’ll be racing short of a false name, Marcel Niederhausen. Now the present the cat is legally out of the bag, so to speak, he may as well skip the alias. Schumacher might race alongside current champion Martin Bauer for Holzhauer Racing.
With the announcement, all of the earliest incidences that Schumacher took half in initiate to acquire a greater number of sense. Superbike racing is really hotly contested, and the bikes feature all but two-hundred horsepower in race trim. Therefore, it should have carried on an appallingly bad concept to race in that chain without a few warm-up runs. According to occurence organizers, the thirty-seven year old Schumacher has carried on testing for the last few weeks investing in real estate agents of his new collection and “he surprised different specialists among hastily times.” We can just wish too our “retirements” ought to be so enjoyable.

VIDEO: Danica Patrick hits crew member on pit lane at Indy
Written by admin on May 10, 2008 – 4:28 pm -
We are soooo glad Danica Patrick hearts Autoblog because during practice at Indy yesterday, she accidentally struck a pit crew member of a competing team. Dale Coyne Racing’s Charles Buckman, the chief mechanic for Mario Moraes, suffered a concussion as well as scalp and facial cuts after being hit and then sailing over Danica’s car in pit row.
According to several trackside eyewitnesses, the incident was completely not Danica’s fault. Apparently, Indy’s pit area was busier and more congested than usual due to a weather delay, and Buckman took one step too many to the right just as Danica was pitting. He was taken to Methodist Hospital and is expected to recover fully from his injuries. For his part, Buckman says he doesn’t remember many details about the incident.
People at the track said Danica and her teammates were visibly shaken by the accident. Marco Andretti saw the accident happen, and told Sports Illustrated, “It’s a dangerous situation; a crowded pit lane, a lot going on. You don’t like to see that kind of thing but it’s not Danica’s fault. Stuff happens. Racing is dangerous. We’re very concerned and hopefully it will turn out good.” Thanks for the tip, Joe!
