Most bailouts are for rather mundane things like banking institutions and such. However, something that is really intriguing has gotten a bailout, namely the Nurburgring. The Nurburgring has been saved from bankruptcy by the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, the German state "The Ring" is in. Government loan preserves the Nurburgring
One of the most intimidating tracks in the world is Nurburgring in the Eiffel Mountains of western Germany. It has a ton of twists, turns and hills, making it a road worth trying for drivers. Most enthusiasts will say it is the very best track in the world and is much better than other things around.
The business that owns the track is struggling right now with almost $500 million in debts, according to AutoGuide, and there is a real chance of the business dying. Fortunately, a Nurburgring bailout is on its way with almost 254 million euros to help save the track, according to AutoBlog. The government of Rhineland-Palatinate, where the track is, is providing the money.
Borrowing for other development
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 a while. 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 retail center, an amusement park, shops and hotels to attract tourists.
Nurburgring is 90 percent state-owned even though the holding company handles it.
The Nurburgring and the Nordschleife north loop make a lot of cash, though the rest of the surrounding tourist complex has been struggling monetarily.
Ecclestone ready to buy
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 is notorious for the danger posed to drivers who aren't able to deal with it. Dozens of individuals have lost their lives there in accidents, both amateurs and, until races ceased on the northern circuit, Formula One drivers. Sir Jackie Stewart, three-time Formula One world championship labeled the track the "Green Hell," given the dense foliage that surrounds it. Car makers often conduct testing there, honing steering, brakes and suspension on the track.
