Why "Save The Nurburgring"?

From 2007 - 2009 the German government built a huge Leisure Park at the Nürburgring. It is based on fake visitor numbers, oversized and badly executed. Most of the time it is an empty ghost town. Once promised as private investment, it is now based on a debt of 350+ million EUR public money.



Instead of pulling the plug they rented the park - including both race tracks - to exactly the same privateers (Kai Richter, Jörg Lindner), who were driving forces behind the Leisure Park's initial private setup.

Without Racing experience they are since experimenting with events completely unrelated to Motorsport (German Volksmusik for example, another one here) - all under the iconic "Nürburgring" brand name.

They now want Nordschleife to pay for the huge losses of "NüroDisney": record prices and bundled packages for tourist drives plus a 5 times increase for the automotive industry in rent for their prototype testing sessions.

What needs to be done?

Seperate Nordschleife from ring°park.
Let Nürburgring be Motorsport.
Value the great heritage and tradition, rather than Roller Coasters.
Replace Lindner/Richter by Motorsport experts.

I live 30 miles from the Ring. The only time that leisure park is busy is on Friday and Saturday nights because of the nightclub there and on race weekends or Rock Am Ring (huge 4 day concert). The rest of the time, it is dead. The casino under he grandstands doesn't even make any money. Such a great place to be wasted except a few weekends out of the year.

Hey Daryl! Didn't know you were still around.

Are you still in contact with any of the KB crew?

How about investing little in some of the larger/nicer road courses in the States? One concentration of investments might bring a State side road course to the top of the list as far as popularity goes. Just a thought!

I'm not TO far from the ring, I plan on checking it out when I get back. I wasn't in Germany long enough before I deployed (Less than 2 months)

Yeah Black, just down the road. I'm gonna try to sale the GT out there next spring. I'll ba damned if I go through another Europe winter w/o 4x4 or AWD. I would buy a beater but I can only have 1 car registered when I go to Volkel. Plus, I got the Fatboy now so I can let 1 toy go...until I get back to the States and get a 5.0
