It's a well-known fact that a circuit going by the name of Nurburgring is probably the last frontier for the track junkie. It's heaven for petrolheads with gasoline running through their veins, the type that like the smell of scorching hot brakes and burned rubber. No wonder some of us refer to it as the Green Hell.
The Nurburgring has been with us since 1927 and it now measures 20.832 kilometers (12.944 miles) riddled with 33 left-hand and 40 right-hand turns. It's such a scary and high-speed track that Formula 1 racing was banned on the long configuration track after Niki Lauda's fiery accident in August, 1976.
Even though the Ring makes ends meet by hosting Grand Prix events every two years on the short circuit, the motorsport venue also fills its coffer from amateur racing. The recipe for the latter is pretty simple - you come with your personal means of transport or get a rental from the track, then pay a few euros to get on the track to have a lot of fun.
It seem that Capricorn Group, the former two thirds shareholder, was bought together with its all of its assets by the Russian businessman's own company, NR Holding AG. Unfortunately, it's mum's guess at the present moment whether Mr. Viktor Kharitonin will make any changes to the Nurburgring. Our only hope is that he's got the financial power to turn around the bad luck that struck the iconic Nurburgring.
