I’m not aware of anyone specific but I’m sure there will be others…..Dan Wheldon comes to mind as he races in a yearly karting event in Indianapolis.

Max Papis raced in the Florida Winter Tour kart series last year so he’s another posibility.

But I’m just guessing…..I’ll keep you guys posted if I hear of any other racing celebs entering.

Interesting news…just gose to show that the USA is such an entertainment center that, for as much as sme F1-related people want to avoid it, the personalities of the sport will wind up spending some time here in some capacity.

Are any other drivers or personalities taking part in the same race? I know Jeff Gordon drives in Massa’s kart race most years as well- anyone from IndyCar or elsewhere perhaps?

Guess he didn’t want to go up against the other side of the Red Bull team.

Schumacher’s been doing a lot of karting this summer, not only the F1 comeback prep in August. Over the last half of the year he was a regular in the shifter kart class at the club races at our local track in Kerpen. (The track he grew up racing on.) Here is a local TV report that mixes coverage of the Bambini (Cadet) class and Schumacher. (Video is in German.) http://www.stadttv-bruehl.de/mediathek/automagazin/bambini-challenge/

Schumacher – 7 time world champion vs Alguesuari – a guy who ran out of fuel in the last race this year because he stopped in the wrong pit… very one sided.

Buemi isn’t bad though, I guess.

There have been bigger margins (i am thinking of a boxing match this weekend, the russian who was 1 foot taller and 7stone heavier lost!) Maybe Jamie is a deamon in a kart!!!

This is what I like about this guy, he still loves racing (mostly karting) and does not fear being beaten.
