Schumacher to star at Nurburgring Ferrari event

Michael Schumacher will demonstrate his Ferrari F1 car at this weekend's 'Ferrari Racing Days 2006' event in Nurburgring in front of his home fans.

On Sunday afternoon the German will do a few laps in both the F2005 and Ferrari's latest road machine - the 599 GTB Fiorano. The seven-time champion will round off his routine with a spin in his very own FXX GT car.

"These are the dates that I love: lots of cars and action and a huge crowd," said Schumacher.

"I am sure it will be an enjoyable day and hope we will have fun."

The action-packed event will also showcase historic Ferrari F1 cars, prepared specially by the customer department at Maranello, and numerous Ferrari road cars.

Other F1 drivers on display this weekend will be Robert Doornbos, who is set to run his Red Bull car at the DTM series race at Zandvoort, and Sebastian Vettel, who having made his debut as BMW's third driver at the Turkish Grand Prix is competing in the Formula 3 Euroseries.
