Finally, a bailout for something that is actually cool has been extended to an entity that really should get it. Germany's famous Nurburgring, the renowned and infamous track, has been bailed out by the government of Rhineland-Palatinate, the state of Germany "the Ring" is located.
Saving with a government loan
The Nurburgring is one stretch of road that followers are not willing to give up. It is considered one of the very best tracks in the world in the Eiffel mountains of western Germany. The track has a lot of dips, straights, twists and turns limiting the driver, making it extremely intimidating.
However, the track is in financial trouble. The company that operates the track, according to AutoGuide, is struggling with debts of almost $500 million and is significant danger of insolvency. However, the government of Rhineland-Palatinate, the state that "the 'Ring," as it's often called sits in, has extended a loan to help save it. The Nurburgring bailout, according to AutoBlog, has allocated funds of 254 million euros (about $312 million) to pay the track's debts.
Green Hell languishing in debt
The loan doesn't pay the track's entire debt, as the loan is only to help service a loan of 330 million euros borrowed by the track's operators. The Nurburgring has been languishing for some time. The holding business, Nurburgring GmbH, according to The Guardian, borrowed 235 million euros in 2009 for development around the Nurburgring, which integrated, according to AutoWeek, a shopping mall, an amusement park, shops and hotels to attract tourists.
Nurburgring is 90 percent state-owned even though the holding business handles it.
The Nurburgring and the Nordschleife north loop make a lot of money, though the rest of the surrounding tourist complex has been struggling financially.
Doing whatever is needed to save it
Bernie Ecclestone is anticipated to have been waiting for the Nurburgring to fall more before getting in on the action as the head of Formula One. He said he would purchase the Nurburgring himself to save it, and that would have been helpful too. Nubrugring's sudschleife, or "south loop," is where the German Grand Prix Formula One race is held sometimes.
The track was called the "Green Hell" by three-time Formula One world championship Sir Jackie Stewart because of all the foliage around the track. In order to test suspension, brakes and steering, sometimes car makers will test automobiles there. The track is considered really dangerous if a driver does not know what to do considering a lot of drivers have lost their lives in accidents.
