Nurburgring dropped from 2015 calendar

Post

I gather the Nurburgring is under new ownership and they've failed to agree terms with Bernie so we're stuck with Hockenheim.

A shame, hockenheim is crap in comparison to the roller coaster of Nurbs.

I agree. It's a shame.

Roller coaster: Yes that is basically the problem. Somebody meant that Nürburgring has to be a 'amusement park' with a roller coaster. That idea failed- leaving the race track in the situation it is right now.

Well, instead of F1 the WEC will race a 6h race at the nürburgring. I myself am more looking forward attending that than F1...

Motion seconded!

The new layout is ok but the old one was just epic!
