Save The Ring
« on: December 21, 2011, 07:56:29 AM »

By the request of a well known respected member, I've agreed to put this on the main page even though it's not LFS related...it's still an important issue, we all know it..we all dream of one day visiting..it's only right that we take time to help keep that dream alive for many around the world.

Why "Save The Nurburgring"?

From 2007 - 2009 the German government built a huge Leisure Park at the Nürburgring. It is based on fake visitor numbers, oversized and badly executed. Most of the time it is an empty ghost town. Once promised as private investment, it is now based on a debt of 350+ million EUR public money.

Instead of pulling the plug they rented the park - including both race tracks - to exactly the same privateers (Kai Richter, Jörg Lindner), who were driving forces behind the Leisure Park's initial private setup.

Without Racing experience they are since experimenting with events completely unrelated to Motorsport (German Volksmusik for example, another one here) - all under the iconic "Nürburgring" brand name.

They now want Nordschleife to pay for the huge losses of "NüroDisney": record prices and bundled packages for tourist drives plus a 5 times increase for the automotive industry in rent for their prototype testing sessions.

What needs to be done?

    Seperate Nordschleife from ring°park.
    Let Nürburgring be Motorsport.
    Value the great heritage and tradition, rather than Roller Coasters.
    Replace Lindner/Richter by Motorsport experts.

How can you help to Save The Ring?

    Please tell your friends and spread the word.
    Follow us on Facebook and share our news and Twitter messages.
    Sign the Online Petition directed to the European Commission.
    Keep yourself informed and question the official Nürburgring (= Lindner/Richter) communication.
    When visiting the Ring, support local family businesses.
    Help us to become louder, contribute ideas and actions, let's save the 'Ring!


You can find all info on the Facebook page, including links to the petition etc at the following URL..

Ruining a good topic with these stupid adds. Mods?
Is there anything to be done to these advertisers? Like some test when you have to make an account, which will confirm that you are a normal human being instead of a stupid bot.

This is the first board and first topic on the whole forum. That's what bots find at first place.
