Als SKRD dat doet is ie kamikaze piloot?Hielke schreef:Zo heel erg vond ik het nou ook weer niet. Deze jonge Ahmed maakt de typische beginnersfouten. Hij weet nauwelijks welke bochten komen en dat vertaalt zich in de fouten. DSC is dan inderdaad meegenomen
Voor de rest rijdt ie met een enthousiaste aanvalsdrift. Dat zie ik liever dan de puntendrift van de gemiddelde rondtoerende Scuderist.
Save The Nurburgring!
Germany's Nürburgring is the world's automotive playground. A public park for gearheads. Sadly, it's been handed over to privateers who've put the entire 'Ring at risk. Michael Frison of 20832.com explains why we need to save the Nürburgring!
You might be surprised by reading this headline and I'm aware the subject has not gained much awareness abroad, but there's currently a serious threat to the Nürburgring.
Since it's opening in 1927, the Nurburgring has been under complete public ownership and administration, but in May of this year the complete Nurburgring race track and park was rented out to two privateers (Kai Richter, Jörg Lindner). They have no motorsports background whatsoever, but are the driving forces behind the makeover, which includes the addition of a theme park with a new roller coaster that doesn't work, more hotel capacity than the area needs, a 3,000-seat event arena, and a shopping mall. Everything appears to be far too big and remains empty most of the time.
They promised private financing, but this soon turned out to be a fake. The Minister of Finance had to resign as a consequence. Despite lack of funding completion of the project continued.
The heavy burden now sitting on Nordschleife's shoulder is the debt of approximately 400 Million Euros, which seems completely unnecessary considering complete race tracks have been constructed for a fraction of this amount.
The issue is complex and has kept fans of the 'Ring busy, but I want to share with you what just happend last week: Nürburgring officials always claim a total of two million visitors per year, but in true Wikileaks style we got ahold of an older internal document (PDF) telling a different story. Promoters always engage in number polishing, but this is of different quality. It appears there's double bookkeeping for real vs. published visitors for all events held at the Ring. Have a look at the graph summarizing the figures:
Who would dare to claim two million spectators while only 370,000 actually turned up? The Nürburgring did and they based the business plan of the new leisure park on these numbers.
You don't believe me? Ask Sabine next time you meet her. Several investigations have already been triggered by the Department of Public Prosecution, a governmental board of inquiry and the competition department of the European Commission.
And anyone who criticizes the current direction of the 'Ring is answered with force. Wilhelm Hahne — the oldest of the racing Hahne brothers (his brother Armin finished 6th last weekend at the track) — had his house searched in June of last year and as recent as last week received again a warning letter from the Nürburgring lawyers for speaking the truth.
Save The Nürburgring!It really hurts to get sucked into politics and to witness how they treat the heritage we all love. The worst that could happen is enthusiasts be forced to pay the price of a privateer's blunder in the form of higher prices or worse. Threats to the track include reduced maintenance of the track to reduce costs, less motorsports, and restrictions on small clubs running events in the area. Enthusiasts could also be required to book at the new hotels to race at the track
Please spread the word if you care about Nordschleife and its heritage
Oh it doesn't end there.
The Rollercoaster injured many workers already with exploding hydraulic cylinders, cracked the walls of the building it was built through and will never ever work....

Then they forgot to add toilets while building the new convention center...for 5000 people. This resulted in the Kart Track having to be moved, and will cost 7 million Euros. FOR TOILETS. Oh yeah, and the privately owned Kart track still hasn't opened because of that iirc.

The whole Nuerburgring franchise is bloody overpriced and scares people away. Example? During FinalGear.com Ringmeet, I was in charge of finding a campsite. The one at the Nuerburgring costs 12€/day. Please note the PER DAY. If you want to stay overnight, that's 24€ for one night. In comparison, we payed 7€ per person/night/tent & car at Viktoria Station, some 15 minutes away, and that campsite was brilliant (recommended!).
That theme park is just a trainwreck, it is mostly boring, the cars in there are only shells without engines and no really interesting stuff for gearheads.
not!
maar dat was het toch al als ik de baan op kwam dan ging spontaan iedereen aan de kant
