The Nurburgring is Officially For Sale

Sections: In the Press | MF Feature | Motorsports Mar 16th, 2013 6 Comments

Via our friends at Bridge to Gantry the most famous race track in the world is now for sale. This could be bad or good news depending on who ultimately buys the track out of all the potential suitors. However one thing is for certain. The ‘Ring is changing. And for manufacturers like BMW and MINI who use the ‘Ring to develop cars that has to be somewhat unsettling.

For more on the ‘Ring check out our Guide the famed track as well as a BimmerCast from the driver seat via our sister site BimmerFile. But don’t worry. The entire podcast is done from the seat of a MINI.

Why can’t they just purchase the track themselves and charge all the other companies to use it for their testing?

I just say all the German Automakers that test on it, go in together and buy it for testing, and still have it open for public use ;)

Can’t imagine the ‘Ring being purchased by anyone other than a German group.

Lets hope it goes to real enthusiasts and not for property development?
