[QUOTE="F1Brits_90, post: 366868, member: 4479"] i was listening to F1 nation podcast, which is quite a good listen & they had an interview with Michael Schmidt & he said that he was talking to the owners over the weekend & they said that they are very serious about revamping the Nordschleife so F1 cars can go around it. but not every year they are talking about it almost a world cup/olympic way that it would only be on the calendar every 3 or 4 years & to a point they talked to Hermann Tilke ([I]as they said on podcast dont worry nothing to do with layout, just a quote[/I]) but he reckons it would cost $100 million to do. which sounds alot but when you think it cost $400m to build COTA then $100m for a Nordschleife then would be a bargain. it would be iconic race to have that would bring viewers & huge kudos but the problem is. you would have to use the pitlane theyve used for this weekend & then use a shortened version of GP Circuit before joining it & then would be a 14 lap race. because of the 25km length. the barrier are so close like monaco so any crash is safety car at least. & its going to be like le mans but twice as many le mans 24 hrs need. but the owners believe that its no more dangerous than monaco [/QUOTE]
