As much as I want to believe, I don't think they can get the elevations right.

[Phl0xed]

For the right price, anything can be done. This would definitely be a worthy investment!

nah, the elevations won't be hard to do, relatively speaking.

I would imagine the big hurdle would be getting the state to "Donate" the requested 8000 acres...

Won't be a hurdle, if there's a large enough kick-back involved.

So instead of creating an all-new, awesome, better than, but inspired by Nürburgring track.. he wants an exact duplicate? Must be Chinese.

If it weren't identical it would be "imperfect" or "a cheap knockoff" to most people. It would be way harder to market to the everyman. There wouldn't be nearly as much hype.

Not that I disagree with your sentiment.

There's that too, but what's the point of having two nurburgrings, there's will always be the "real" one. [nerd] He should build an identical copy of Maple Valley on Forza. [/nerd] or a street circuit like Monaco.

The more nurburgrings the better!

I think the point is that very few people can afford to go to Germany to drive, fewer still can afford to bring their own car. This makes something as iconic as the 'Ring accessible to millions more drivers, as well as cheaper for American car manufacturers to use for testing and marketing.

The whole point of this thing is to make money, not to make a kickass track. The 'Ring is the perfect track to rake it in. Making a duplicate of Monaco would probably be very successful as well, though certainly less so than this. I would <3 forever if somebody built Maple Valley, haha, but the draw just isn't there.

I can drive my car to vegas, I cannot drive my car to germany.


that about sums it up for me.

^Fine fine fine, I see your point lol.
What if they did the Nurburgring but they replaced the GP track with a permanent version of Monaco complete with tunnel. haha. Hell he should make a 'Ring, Monaco, Maple, and de la Sarth. All in one large park with a hotel overlooking them all, true vegas style. ...(and slowly reality begins to set in.)

...that they would be scaled down copies like the other things in Vegas from this guy!

Yeah I'd totally stay at a hotel where I'm woken up at 6am every day by the sound a Civic with straight pipes.

I can see those exotic car rentals in Vegas supporting this. If not, WTF is wrong with you?!

Here's to making it happen! As someone mentioned, I can drive to Vegas. Not so much Germany...

[syritis]

nurburgring is a fuckin scary course. no much room for run out so i'm not all that sure the exotic clubs would be enthused about letting a bunch of tourists with no track experience race there.

[89s1]

Pffft. With all the open land in nevada this thing could have 1/4 mile long runoffs at almost every corner

[DEATH2000]

Are they doing the full Nordeschliefe course or the F1 course? It didnt specify, and the picture shows the bottom of the F1 course.

[Zewind]

Road trip!

Brown Dusty Hell?

Liability is much higher with a full track with random people of the strip driving it.

I would be happen if they just bring ring taxi back.
