Nurburgring sold to Russian billionaire!

Apparently this has made it three days and not got posted.

We discussed it in the "If you had a Billion Dollars what would be the first 5 things you would buy?" thread, so I guess one of you guys got that Nigerian Prince to finally pay up.

They have changed the entry fee. You can now drive on without paying a dime, but some very large men in black track suits extract an "exit fee".

"You want get off track? OK. Five hundred US dollars. Cesh."

Why move it, when they can just 'annex' it?...And the thousand or so miles of road to get there.
