so as i just found out the Nürburgring is actually at risk of closing down, mainly because of the two owners. these two private investors used all the money into creating a hotel, that can accommodate more guest that will even show up, a theme park with a roller coaster attraction, a 3000 seat event arena, and a shopping mall. this was said to be funded by private funding, but eventually turned out to be a fake, which now left the Nürburgring in a rough 400 million Euro debt. so pretty much im just trying to help spread the word of everyones favorite track.

Yea right, it will never "close down". Every major automotive manufacturer uses the ring to test cars. I guarantee you someone or some group will swoop in and buy what they want which will include the track.

only the Nordschleife is open for public access, not the Gesamtstrecke
