I'm glad I got the chance to go on it when I did, and in all the various machines that I did. The last couple of years it's been bought out by corporate types more concerned about making money than grass-roots motorsports and as a result the experience has been ruined. Last time I was there they were constructing that bloody hotel and themepark and I could tell it just did not feel right - too slick, too glitzy, and not enough of what the 'Ring was about. It's happened time and time again - someone looks at a good honest business, thinks that they can make a quick buck, files a fancy business plan and gets in there, makes a horrible mess of things because they don't understand*, and then leaves, with everything falling apart. Who loses out? The locals, and the people who love motorsports and cars.
*They don't understand cars, or the auto industry, and they don't care. They think they know how to run a business. But the car business - and in particular, grassroots motorsports - is something very different, and very unique, and no amount of studying usage rates and track-hours-per-euro and so on will make someone who doesn't get it, get it.
