I just came across this on another site. Makes me sad to see anything like this happen.

Nothing new over here. Greed, failures and mismagement takes its toll.

I was reading a while back (can't remember exactly where) that there was an investment company that wanted to replica The Ring out here in Las Vegas. I say, build it. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/gr_driving3.gif)

Very sad, I drove to the gates once in the 60's and had planned to drive the 58' VW splitty camper around there but thought better about it!

Road America "death match"? lol. I don't think there's another place that's going to come close to the 'Ring for bragging rights. That might mean the close another automotive era... |

On the Ring aka Nordschleife? (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) This part is profitable, it will not disappear. |

Yes, Max M./Bernie E./FIA, and company ARE quite the greedy bastids, no? This post has been edited by dailydriver: Aug 1 2012, 11:43 PM |

GP track is also profitable. The problem are the useless buildings (theme-park-like and other stuff) they built from 2007 to 2009. The 2 tracks need to be separated (concerning ownership) from these buildings which just cost money. |
