Not sure how many people here follow auto-racing, so I figured just a general catch-all thread would suffice.
Michael Schumaker is retiring (again) at the end of this season. Whether he stays retired remains to be seen.

Also in other F1 news, New Jersey has lost their contract to host a race a few days after it being confirmed as having a race June 2013. The backers didn't meet some terms of the contract so F1 had it annulled. This is a blow to F1 in America. Then again, the F1 race at Texas' Circuit of the America's (Austin) is happening next month and it would benefit them to be the sole race.

They have several other racing series coming. May attend the American Le Mans Series race there (plenty of time to plan ahead).
