Nürburgring Bust!

Post by Kermit »


The future of the famous Nürburgring precinct in Germany is uncertain, with a much-needed government bailout being refused this week.

A €13 million (AU$15.5 million) German government grant was disallowed by the European Commission, deeming the grant 'illegal state aid' for Nürburgring GmbH, who currently manages the precinct’s operations.

Nürburgring GmbH is a publicly-owned holdings company formed after the contract with previous operator, the privately-owned Nürburgring Automotive GmbH (NAG), was terminated earlier this year.

With the amount of manufacturers testing all kinds of vehicles there, plus racing, plus ppl driving it at every opportunity they get, plus marketing events and etc... and they still went under! You'd have to question the administrators' skills.

Ppl spend a lot more $ per km there than any other piece of public road I can think of (with or without tolls).

I've heard so many ppl who drove there complaining about the line of cars waiting to get in and whatnot...

Ahhhhh, you poor bugger. I did 2 1/2 days there, with the track closed to other vehicles in beautiful sunshine.
