Save the Ring (Nürburgring)

So, how many of you have been following this initiative for the past year?

SAVE THE RING as it is under serious thread

New Nurburgring by Lindner Hotel chain group and the German Government, partners in CRIME?? !!! ??

Many of you know about the NuroDisney development at the ring but few know about the background and politics. Just a short description of facts and what it means to you as a visitor.

The state of Germany invested over 400 million of taxpayers money in concrete buildings nobody needs and which fundings are based on false visitor numbers. In fact the Nurburgring is bankrupt since the maximum turnover is not even enough to pay the interest on the loans of this new investment.

New elections in 2011 (every 4 years) meant politicians needed to clean up. Therefore the state of Germany decided to GIVE AWAY!!! the Nurburgring to a Hotel Chain by the name of Lindner. After all these losses, the state of Germany is still telling that they made the right decision and everything will be back in profit soon now.

Lindner hotel chain does not have any experience with Motorsport and is only milking the treasure Nordschleife to fill up their Lindner ferien dorf, Lindner 4 star hotel, Lindner 3 star hotel, Lindner Disco, Lindner Roller coaster, lindner Museum, Lindner video system rental, Lindner race taxi, Lindner car rentals etc. This means the local economy is sidelined and therefore is a life threatening situation for us all here.

What does it mean for you as a visitor?

No free choice of hotel, restaurant, car rental company, instruction, video recording etc etc. They will FORCE you to use ONLY there Lindner this and Lindner that by combining laptickets with so called ‘free’ vouchers for their restaurants, hotels, car rentals, instruction etc etc.

This monopoly will result in high prices (already visible), no option of choice, no service, no quality of service and even higher prices in case of guardrail damages.
They will milk you till there’s nothing left and make you pay for everything this Government wasted on their castles in the skies.


SAVE THE RING, Sign the petition!

Because of the above, it is really needed that you support this battle for justice and sign the petition (http://www.gopetition.com/petition/41698.html) and post on www.facebook.com/savethering

Please don’t let us down and i hope to see another 5000 or so signatures over the next week from all who love the ring and don’t want to see it go. Please forward this email to all your email database since we need all the help we can get.


Best regards from the Nurburgring

as much as i gather together is boils down to this for me. They want to run it as a privateer owned track.
I dont think they will do anything else besides make it better . Only the privet owner or owners, will have authority over it. That is usually better then join team with local governments and so.
Kind a like NJMP.
Sometimes this actions does actually the quite opposite. Drops the price - make it a better track. Why? less blood sucking bureaucrats on it. Also since its privateer , will not drain the tax payers money, but also if its too expensive , no one will run it or not enough people to keep it running it. Every change is you feel it as your own , instead the government/tax payers/ will fill up the wholes if wont work...


But i can be wrong on that.

Save The Ring is using face book to build support. I feel very grateful to have driven it for a few days back in 2000.

This is sad....

http://axisofoversteer.blogspot.com/...e-driving.html

Scuderia Hanseat is the grand daddy of all high performance driving schools, founded in 1958, it is expensive, exhaustive and by all accounts a fantastic learning experience. Since its beginnings 52 years ago, Scuderia- Hanseat has run their classes on the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring and were all set to run the 2011 edition when they got a call from the office at the track....

New management, Nurburgring Automotive GmbH declared their previously negotiated contract renewal null and void and demanded more money for less track time. Hanseat was forced to cancel or face a 60% increase in fees......
