Title: Nurburgring
Post by: 69280sl on July 26, 2012, 04:01:58

Found this in a financial blog.

ZH: With millions of euros in debts and an inability to pay back its loans, the operator of Germany's fabled Nürburgring racetrack, home to many of the country's Formula One races, could declare bankruptcy next week. It may be the end of the legendary racecourse, which first opened in 1927.

Sad if true

The Nurburgring is not the same as the Nordschliffe that we and every other petrol head goes to drive. That still does well albeit it is part of the overall company now...worst case scenario that part would be sold off.

It's the massive malls/hotels/theme park at the F1 circuit that has/caused all the problems...

One of my unique experiences was a ride with a Mercedes test driver around the Nurburgring.  It was amazing!  Too bad it was not in a Pagoda.
