Yes, the 'Ring still belongs the German state of: Rheinland-Pfalz. Since RP has "invested" something like 330Million euros into the 'Ring. Some say its much, much more.
Basically the article(link bellow, in German) says: Capricorn's boss: Robertino Wild brought in Viktor(Russian billionaire) into play. Viktor takes over 2/3rd's of NR Holding. Wild remains as the Director of Capricorn and NR Holdings. So Capricorn still owns the Ring, but Capricorn is now owned 2/3rd's by Victor. But Wild now relies to 100% on Victor. We shall see how long this "honey moon" lasts.
The good news is, that Capricorn can still go on with their plans to rebuild the 'Ring surroundings and the 'Ring complex, as they have initially planned to do so. So this is basically only a change on executive levels right now. And that is the catch... as long as Capricorn doesn't miss a payments to the state of Rheinland-Pfalz, RH must abide by the sales contract they agreed too.
We have to wait and see how this all plays out. But one thing is for sure... no one wants to kill the goose that is laying the golden eggs(Nürburgring Nordschleife touristenfahrten). The question will soon be... how much will people pay for one lap of the NS. ? Right now its 27 euros. I wonder how much more it will go up?
