Of course whoever ends up buying the Nurburgring will want to turn it profitable, which means grassroot motorsport events could be done away with altogether, since they generate little to no profit. In fact, a new owner could put all the events we know and love at the Nurburgring at risk.
There have been several “Save the Ring” campaigns in hopes that automotive enthusiasts can help retain the storied history and tradition at the Nordschleife. But at the end of the day, the fate of the Nurburgring will lie in the hands to the highest bidder.
