Light at the end of the tunnel for 'the ring'??

[lisknik]

Looks like the ring finally has a buyer. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=29584

Could this be the saving grace it needs?

I understood from friends who've done the ring on a number of occasions that there's always rumours that it's closing down, would be a shame, I'd love to drive it

 

[lisknik]

Been rumoured for years Jilly, and I am hoping to do it this year, it is my fourtieth year this year That be why I have a high interest in the place

What car will you do it in Nick?

 

[lisknik]

Jess of course, needs the V6 for the journey there, and while i be there. Think the 33 is too old for a trip like that

Better get on and get my @rse over there before its too late.

There hs been the save the ring campaign for a few years now Matt, it either almost, or did go bankrupt. Well thats three of us that ain't been, i feel a road trip coming

 

[lisknik]

Looks like it has now been sold - http://jalopnik.com/breaking-german-supplier-capricorn-has-bought-the-nurb-1541406643

Well, lets see what they do with it. Suppose they have to make money. They can charge manufacturers loads to test there I suppose but I suspect the cost will come down the the public entrance fee.

Must get over there some day.
