Schumacher pushes for IndyCar return to Germany

Mick Schumacher wants IndyCar to consider a race in Germany, with the Nurburgring his ideal venue and Hockenheim the more practical option. The American series is preparing for a return to Europe in 2027 and has already confirmed a race at Barcelona next July.

Schumacher, who will race for Meyer Shank Racing next year, said the ultimate goal would be to bring IndyCar back to Germany. He described Hockenheim as probably the easiest option, adding that it has the most potential for the series. He also recalled winning the Formula 3 championship there.

IndyCar previously raced in Germany in 2001 and 2003, when CART competed at the Lausitzring.
