Schumacher drives RS6?

[Erik]

OK, listen to this rumor heard from a friend's friend :rolleyes: who spent the holidays in the Swedish / Norwegian "Alps" for skiing.

Going into a shop he meets Ralf Schumacher who is heading towards an RS6 driven by Michael Schumacher.

True or not? Anyone else who knows more? :confused:

:addict: - in any case! :hihi:

[fabianflach]

Yes it is true,..

[pING]

What's your source fabianflach ?
Would Schumacher be tired of driving all day a Ferrari?

well, name me a Ferrari for a family and name me a FIAT produced car with much power and space for a professional Formel 1 driver :D..

I would drive the same car in his position :D..

Yes, they have yet to produce an all wheel drive that can transport a bunch of people with luggage in the snow. ;)

Not sure why he would go to Sweden for skiing... :error:

And don't forget that we have the car meant for the previous F1-star Keke Rosberg's car on the forum.

The misano red RS6 Avant... :incar: World Class is all I can say!

The new X5 is a nice car, but almost 10 seconds slower than the RS6 up to 200 km/h.

Ralphy was in the same car according to the information.

And the dutch F1-coureur: Jos Verstappen (minardi) even drive a audi RS6 and before audi RS4 and some more audi's

He have a good taste for prive-cars but he always drive a bad F1-car.:confused:
When he tuned his RS6 he had more change to win a (wet) F1-race than in a Minardi:D :D :D :D

Or is it his fault perhaps? ;)

Yes in his first years he was test-driver by Benneton and he always ended in the tyres. He didn't know what is a finish.:race:
But now it is a good driver I think. I hope he will get a better car.

Michael Schumacher does drive an RS6 at Trysil (Norway). He has been on vacation there at his own cabin for at least 4 years now (nice cabin...)

I can confirm that this was close to Trysil.

Rubens Barrichello drive an armored RS6 with ABT kit in his car, here in Brasil.
Alex Barros (New Honda pilot – swapping with Rossi) drives a M3 and a very very ugly modded S3. (His S3 has even ground effect and about 450hp plus Nitro).

[Andre Abreu Per]

Yeah
Audi is all around, pilots and pioneers

Apparently Schumacher has a large house in Trysil (Norway).

I've been to Trysil on skiing trips for a few winters in a row (5-6?) and we rented a cabin (actually, different cabin from year to year) pretty close to Chatue de Schumacher. ;) That's probably the most impressive house up there. Although, I haven't seen him in the slopes yet, I bet I'm faster than him, I've seen him ski on tv and it aint a pretty sight. :D

So yes, the rumour that the Schumacher brothers were seen in a RS6 is higly possible, if it's true, well that's another story....

Nothing can beat Aspen, Colorado for that Alps affect. :p

OK, a norwegian TV-channel had a case about Schumacher visiting Petter Solberg in the swedish woods where he is testing his new Subaru at the moment. :incar: Schumacher was impressed, and a litle scared when Petter Solberg took him for a ride, according to Petter himself. Anyway, they filmed when Schumacher left the area, he left in a black RS6 avant with norwegian plates. So it's true, cos i saw it on tv! :hihi: BTW, he had the sportsexhaust..

[Erik]

The story about Schumacher going for some rally is true as well, but he hid from the photographers :D :

OK, for all who don't beleive this. Here's a video when Schumacher goes rallying on snow with Mr. Solberg.
And the RS6 Avant is in there as well.

Look for "F1-mästaren Schumacher testade rally"
about 3/4 down the side.
