Testing has started at the Ring

Last weekend was the start of the VLN series and testing was given the green light a few weeks ago.

Ron Simons from RSR Nurburg has been giving his knowledge of the Ring to Nicola Larini & Fabrizio Giovanardi

'First job at RSRNurburg is serving these two champions in getting warmed up for the 24 hour race later this year' said Ron Simons.


Both drove one of the Lotus Exiges under guidance of Ron Simons.

RSR back on the Ring

RSR Nurburg have been given the right to do what they do best at the ring last week after months of being banned by owners Nurburgring GmbH.

RSRNurburg wins legal battle against Nurburgring Automotive  

Over the winter RSRNurburg was tight up in a legal battle with the new  Nurburgring regime

Last week  the High Court senate of judges made it very clear to the Nurburgring Automotive GmbH that their case is an abuse against the German Anti Trust laws. RSRNurburg was banned from the track for a second time effective december 2010. RSRNurburg was accused from driver training during tourist traffic on the Nordschleife. Since this is ‘unsafe’ according to Nurburgring Automotive GmbH, this is not allowed. Important detail is that Nurburgring Automotive offers the same product to customers since this year (and there are rumours they had a major accident with severe injury last week in one of their courses). 

Nurburgring Automotive has a monopoly and by banning RSRNurburg from the track they are abusing this monopoly. Besides this protection from Anti Trust competition rights, RSRNurburg also holds a contract dated january 2010 which can never be terminated (since termination would be against the Anti Trust law). Due to the fact that the High Court is the last station, there is no option for an appeal for the Nurburgring.   

‘justice still exists and even the Nurburgring is not above the law. Many companies are affected by the questionable dealings of the new regime. I truly hope that this is inspiration for all of them to raise their voices and take on the fight’ said Ron Simons after the court case.

This just shows Nurburgring GmbH that the people of the region won't sit back, they will fight.


Well done Ron and the Team
