Seven-time Formula 1 World driving Champion Michael Schumacher's next motorcycle race outing will be at the famed Nurburgring in Germany, the organisers have confirmed.

Earlier this month, the retired Formula 1 driver made his debut in the professional IDM - the German superbike series - at the Oschersleben circuit.

And although the 39-year-old finished one of those races in 28th place and had a fall in the other, it seems he has not been put off his hobby.

"Perhaps I will race from time to time, but always as a guest runner and without ambitions for another career," the German said.

IDM organisers confirmed on Friday that Schumacher would race a Honda at the Nurburgring this weekend.
