Mainly because of time and cost. ....In principle I will take each new trackable car for a single trip, and rent in between....

PM me any time if I can be of help

 

I wonder how much you could make if you bought a bunch of acreage and built a
copy of the Ring in the US. The Spa in Europe is a copy of some of the most
famous turns on famous tracks right? 14 miles would be one hell of non recuring costs for
an investment tho

 

Never gonna happen. The liability lawyers would kill it in a minute. It would be sanitized, restricted ,regulated to the hilt, You would have all of the green/red/white group stuff. helmet regs,tech inspections,a million miles of armco,runoff areas,marshals, and all the other nanny state stuff.

Over there they figure out that if you're an adult you make your own decisions and live with the good or bad consequences. It a key part of why its great.

 

great article, thank you

 

Isn't always the way things go, lawyers take all the fun out of a great idea.

I drove the ring a few months ago (Late May) and one thing I thought was ironic, road work was being done while cars were flying by (barely slowing down), yet a lot of the industrial equipment that I deal with has high levels of safety requirements for the EU then NA requires.

Thanks for sharing your story.

 

..Had the same experience at Wehrsefen this time one day. They just put put a little sped limit but you need to be aware this can happen. A huge improvement now is a giant iliminated Ring map at the entrance to the track that shows any sections that are affected.
