We need to save the Ring

You missed this bit ^

I assume this means = spend as much as you can so as the prices increase more in 2012

Isn't the ring owned by the government, therefore not likely to fail?

The management company may fail to make a profit though and another one will be found, or it will fall back to the old days. I can't imagine the Ring closing

[TANKSLAPPER]

These stories come out this time every year.

It's a German pass time, as the Ring is closed and they are bored to fooking tears with nothing better to do. lol

Business as usual


I reckon they should separate the ownership of the Nordschleife and the Nurburgdisney and let the private enterprise fail.

I went on that tour with CD in 06 in the csl, didn't rate it myself they failed to notify me about the change of time for the ferry sailing and the hotel was suppose to be 4star in Koln but it had warm beer and no aircon it was 30 degrees outside. It was a pain in the arse travelling from Koln to the ring everyday the thing is they had too many on the tour, poorly orgainsed and not really good value for money you would be far better doing your own thing

+ 1 heard some bad things also


Lawsy I'm doing some research and looking into the whole pre org private days at the ring RSR do a package with the hotel including food which is a known entity, bit pricey but you do get what you pay for !

There are also a few other little cheeky things that may pop up will know more mid Jan on that.

'liked' cheers roberto

but what exactly do they want? money???

where would this money go? to the existing knobjockeys? or are we financing a revolution

so they have made a big cock up with developing the place?! surprise surprise, why can't they just go bust, let someone else start again?

this year they are staying at the lindner on site ( I assume thats part of the deal TDO get when they book the ring now) so I can't see it being such a cock up this time curly
