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

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)

That would be something very cool to see, but I have always wanted to run on two tracks...Nurburgring and Laguna Seca

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!

Now where are all of the manufacturers going to go to claim their bragging rights?

Where will the GTR vs. C6/C7 top models carry on their 1 lap battles???

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.

So it is only the actual GP track which is going under?

Yes, Max M./Bernie E./FIA, and company ARE quite the greedy bastids, no?

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.
