Looks like the Nurburgring is in financial trouble.

nothing new

Oh,

First I'd heard of it.

I would imgine most circuits are pretty close to being in the same situation

There have been rumours of the closing due to various reason for 10+ years

This is more to do with the 400M Euro debt that the circuit now has due to the 'developers' who got the license to run both tracks and then decided to create Nurburgring Disney world. Which no one wants and is a ghost town with a rollercoaster that will never work and so on.

The track itself will survive as all of it is actually State owned but there will be some rough patches coming up as they attempt to repay the enormous debt. There is talk of fraud & criminal charges as well.
