Ari Vatanen - Rallye World Champion 1981 and Member of the European Parliament 1999 - 2009 - supports the Save The Ring initiative, signer #11849:
His words say it all about this place
Nurburgring is absolutely unique racetrack and it's part of not only motor sport heritage but part of German history! I still remember how I was scared (yes, I can be scared!) in that steep down hill on the circuit and how my respect of F1 drivers went up by coefficients 10!
I had heard already about that massive spending, during my years in Bruxelles I saw how public money is wasted in an irresponsible manner!
Many thanks for that great support.
