Michael Schumacher was the youngest member of his karting club at Kerpen-Horrem track. Needless to say, the seven-time world champion was dominating the grid even when he was a child. In an episode of the Late Brake Show, the BTCC legend, Jason Plato looked back at his karting days with Schumacher.
Jason Plato is a legendary British Touring Car Championship driver and holds the record of most overall wins. He used to kart with Michael Schumacher when they were kids and remembers, to this day, how impressive the Geman was.
