There has to be some more profit to be made through manufacturers testing on it...something...anything...

I never would have thought that a world famous race track such as this one would be on the verge of going broke.

Not to the tune of what they're in the hole for. You have to take into consideration what the overhead of a place like that is.

If I dont get to drive around The Green Hell in my life time because of this I will sacrifice 1,000 e36s:hitler::hitler::hitler::hitler:

Im going to cry now....But I agree with this guy ^^

they shouldnt have tried to make it into a large commercial center. that was such a mistake.

I hope they go bankrupt. That way someone who knows what they are doing can buy it from the bank and make it better. The current owners are douch bags and only bought it as an investment which obviously did not work. We need a real motor head to buy it and bring it back.

Laguna seca was having some issues at one point and if it was not for mazda would probably have gone under

The Eifel should take it over, close all the fun house crude and keep it as it was a limited access pay road.

The douche's that swindled the local gov into thinking they could turn the place into a racing disneyland put the place in so much debt, that no matter what they raise the testing fees or lap fee's, that place is doomed.

It really is a joke how they have let the place become.
