We have retrieved from our archives, on the occasion of Michael Schumacher's 53rd birthday, the article by Vroom in memory of the last round of the 2001 FSA World Championship held at Kerpen, in which the German, former F1 champion with Benetton and Ferrari, appeared to dispute the round with Tony Kart.
