Schumacher Running Out Of Foes

With no worlds left to conquer in F-1 racing, six-time World Driving Champion Michael Schumacher is looking for other foes:

So now the German ace, who clinched his record sixth championship last month, will face off against the new Eurofighter Typhoon hunter-bomber.

The duel between Schumacher's state-of-the-art Ferrari 2003-GA and the supersonic fighter jet will be contested Dec. 11 on the runway of an Italian airbase in Grosseto, near the Tuscan seaside, according to Agence France-Presse. The race will consist of three sprints over 500, 1,000 and 1,500 meters.

The jet was developed in Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain. Schumacher's foe in the cockpit will be Maurizio Chelli , an Italian astronaut and test pilot, the news service reported.

No word on whether or not Schumacher would have preferred taking on the Italian pilot in a Messerschmitt.
