Breaking!! The Nürburgring Fires Its Management Company!!
Apparently things over at the Green Hell are worse than it seems. Let’s check in with our field reporter, Frank Bacon:

Reports indicate that that the state-owned racetrack has fired the private management firm responsible for… the management of the track. The unnamed company has turned the place into an amusement park for adults, but without the prerequisite casinos and strippers. Without such income generating facilities the ‘Ring cannot sustain itself on its “toll money” alone and is in danger of going bankrupt.
Further reports indicate that the State will manage the historic track for the time being. Funds for its upkeep will come from taxes, until they realize that casinos and strippers is the way to go. That or renaming after the car company willing to pay the most amount of money to have the track named after them. GM, I am looking in your direction.

The picture shows a girl in net panties and a pole. Are you sure there are no strippers???
That's "according to the reports", tho many have probably undressed her with their eyes.
Clearly she is a pole vaulter, just look at her legs. Also can there be bacon.
That makes sense. Those are the kind of strippers that don't bring in $$$
With todays' technology there should be a way to detect this type of undressing and charge money for it?
Count me in on the pro-strippers and casinos side.
Strippers driving cars around the ring naked while games of poker are played in the back seat.
Mmmmm…Sabine.
You know what would save the Nurburgring? NASCAR.
/Seriously
And it could save NASCAR in the process…
I know, NASCAR makes millions and is in no need of saving. But it would save it for me, because I would actually watch a race.
NASCAR is trying to retool after ratings and ad revenue dropped precipitously last year. So, I do think NASCAR is in need of saving.
NASCAR may have money, but the fans are 'meh'.
No more sellouts at Bristol is proof.
Go to a touring car style car. Mustang, Camaro, Challenger, GT86 (with help).
I'd watch that.
Hell, just go back to cars that have stock bodies, so that a Dodge is easily distinguished from a Ford by something other than stickers. I'm all for safety improvements and engine improvements (though it would be nice if those at least started life as a standard production block), but bodies should have to be homologated.
It might actually kill the entire top tier of NASCAR drivers. In a single lap.
First lap? First turn!
(it's a right-hander)
HA!
Elevation changes might sorta blow the minds of anyone who survived that corner. Would love to see the field the first time they hit that crest where everyone catches air.
We would see the return of the specialists.
And the Aussies would do very well there against left turn only types.
NASCAR @ Nurburgring….
I know what I'm doin' on GT5 tonight.
That seasonal challenge was a bitch. Setting that thing up to handle is no easy task.
GTPlanet helped me out there and the car was actually fun. No Schwimmerwaggonn (sp?) but fun.
I used one of those setups as well, but it was still a challenge to keep in control…
My Schwimmwagen (Schwimmimmimmimmimmwagenenenenenen?) is Miata Sunburst Yellow
I'm Graham Hill, and I approve of this saving.

Damn, that photo makes the D look small. Also, the hand lettered numbers are just magnificent. And Graham might just have rocked the dorkiest/most unique helmet design evar.
"Damn, that photo makes the D look small"
That's because it's a Lotus XI.
Graham's helmet design was a tribute to one of his favorite social organizations, the London Rowing Club.

Uh oh, the German government is going to run the place? Get ready for it to be shut three months in a row for lawn maintenance and to need to fill out twelve forms before six Beamte argue with each other about whether you have fulfilled all the technical requirements to drive a lap.
