If you’ve been following automotive news recently you may have heard about the financial troubles plaguing Germany’s famous Nürburgring. Unfortunately, things just seem to be getting worse as Nürburgring GmbH officially filed for bankruptcy last week. We were contacted by Mike Frison who is a long time advocate of preserving this legendary temple of speed. If you are unaware of how the situation got to this point, Mike has put together a timeline that shows exactly how the Nürburgring came to be in its current troubles.

More importantly, Mike has also played a huge role in the Save the Ring, campaign which encourages motorsport fans from around the world to take action on the matter.

As of now the future of the Nürburgring is still uncertain, but here’s hoping the famous circuit will be around for years to come.
