Seems like somebody had grandiose plans for the 'Ring, and now has left it with a lot of debt.

There are a number of things I would love to help Sabine with, saving the 'ring is only one of them

I'm thinking a major German manufacturer-or a combination of all of them-would step in before the track closed.

The recent makeover, which includes a theme park (with a new roller coaster that doesn't work!), more hotel capacity than the area needs, a 3,000-seat event arena, and a shopping mall

Makes you wonder what marketing genius thought up all that stuff.

The 2nd video (Nurburgring Finanz {Financial} Desaster) in the crawl at the bottom after the Sabine one finishes looks like it could be VERY good, if I knew German...

Edit for the link to that vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf0rvPwap28&feature=player_embedded
