Save The Ring

[Valentin K]

Hey all,

As some of you might have heard, the criminals ("Ring°Mafia") running NürDisney are doing their best at ruining the Nürburgring, the area and residents around it and its meaning for the development of automobiles and of course for the motorsport. Not only did the local government of Rheinland-Pfalz pump hundreds of millions of Euros (taxpayer money) into this idiotic project, they even rented the entire track-hotel-entertainment complex out to the two individuals who were behind the idea of this bullshit but paid practically nothing for all of this.

Now they're pumping up the prices in a stupid amount for anyone who wants to use the track, be it manufacturers or individuals, to fill the gigantic gaps in their bank accounts and instead of concentrating on motorsport the way this track has done ever since, they are experimenting with folk music festivals. This whole setup was stillborn... as if they couldn't have known that a gigantic luxury hotel bunker next to a race track in a rural area of maybe 25000 inhabitants would never be booked out. Even worse, the local government praised the concept as an "investment in the future of the region and its inhabitants" - the only people who benefit from this are 2 businessmen from Düsseldorf: Kai Richter and Jörg Lindner.

Long story short: taxpayer money was used for something that ruins the commercial existence of an entire region - the Nürburgring was originally built to get more people into the mountainous Eifel region to boost their economy. 80 years later, the state does everything to ruin the local tourist economy and get as much profit as possible off of the local residents. Voices against Richter/Lindner are taken down by court - the most famous example being the 20832.com Nürburgring fan forum (link below).

And as if that was not enough, it appears that they're trying to ruin the Nürburgring 24h now, an event that actually used to break even thanks to thousands of volunteers (which is a rare occasion in race meetings).

So what can be done by us for all that?
Please sign the online petition to the Vice-President of the EU-Commission.
