Schumacher, nephew of seven-time F1 champion Michael and cousin of junior single-seater star Mick, will race with his father's team KSM Racing in the senior OK class.

The WSK Champions Cup is a one-round event set to be held this coming weekend at Adria Raceway, featuring the OK, OKJ, KZ2 and 60 Mini categories.

As well as Schumacher, Jack Doohan, son of MotoGP legend Mick, will take part in the event in the OKJ class.

Doohan, the 2015 Australian KA Junior champion, raced in last year's CIK-FIA World Championship, finishing 23rd.

Another notable entrant is Brando Badoer, whose father Luca was a former F1 driver and Ferrari test driver, in the 60 Mini class.

The Adria round will feature several 2016 OKJ stars stepping up to OK, including respective reigning World and European champions Victor Martins and Fin Kenneally, as well as Noah Watt, David Vidales and Sami Taoufik.

F3 driver Ralf Aron's younger brother Paul meanwhile is graduating to OKJ, having spent 2016 in 60 Mini.

Former karting stars David Beckmann and Alessio Lorandi, who now race in European F3 and GP3 respectively, will also be present in Adria in the KZ2 category.
