Schumacher at “Ferrari Racing Days” at the Nurburgring
Michael Schumacher will take part in the final day of the
“Ferrari Racing Days 2006” event, that takes place
this coming weekend at the Nurburgring circuit in Germany.
The event gets underway on Friday with the first timed practice
for the penultimate round of the European Ferrari Challenge
Pirelli Trophy. Currently leading the main class of the one-make
series for the F430 is Frenchman Ange Barde, ahead of Ireland’s
Michael Cullen and the British driver, Ross Kaiser, while
Germany’s Dennis Huebner heads the classification in
the Shell Cup for gentlemen drivers, from the Swiss driver
Ettore Contini. Bjorn Grossmann (Germany) tops the table in
the separate class for the 360 Modena Challenge, still eligible
in the championship for one final year.
Also on track this weekend, single-seaters prepared by the
Maranello F1 Clienti department who will do some parade runs
and around sixty Prancing Horse road cars, taking part in
a special regularity event.
The key moment comes on Sunday afternoon when Michael Schumacher
will do a series of demonstration laps at the wheel of a Ferrari
599 GTB Fiorano and an F2005. The Scuderia Ferrari Marlboro
driver will also use the Nurburgring to debut his own personal
FXX car, a product of the research and development programme
of the same name, and part of the many elements that go to
make up the “Ferrari Racing Days 2006.”
