2) Same again Zachspeed? {phonetic again}
3) Has Schumacker [M] raced at Nurburgring and what was his lap time {fastest ;) }
4) Who holds the lap/circuit record for Nurburgring and what is it?

Funny where some of the answers come from!

Zakspeed is a German Race Team/Tuning Specialist, most famous for campaigning late 70's and early 80's turbocharged Capris. They run a Saleen S7 in the current FIA GT series.
The outright lap record at the 'ring is, (I think) held by Stefan Bellof in a Porsche 962C.

I assume you mean the Nordschleife. Belloff holds the record at 6:11, in 1983 (its last year), but Ickx was faster in practice (See "In car 956"), with Vergers' Radical SR8 now down to 6:55 in road trim.
Schumacker would have been 12 when it closed.
Peter Zakowski runs Zakspeed, which was started by his father, and they run the racing school at Nurbergring
-
Zakspeed also ran an F1 team - they first ran in about 1985 - Jonathan Palmer drove for them - one of the cars was this one....

Schumacher used to race for Mercedes Group C in their junior squad back in '90/1. I am unsure which tracks the series took in.
When you say Nurburgring - presume you mean the Nordschielfe and not the GP track attached to it?

1) That's Peter Zakowski, founder and chairman of Zakspeed, see 2
2) That's Zakspeed (www.zakspeed.de). Just browse the site. Matt is right.
3) That's Schumacher: No idea.
4) The record on the Nordschleife is still held by Stefan Bellof, time: 6:11.
