Bernie Ecclestone Expresses Interest In Purchasing Nurburgring Facility

With the weekend's German Grand prix just having completed at the Nurburgring's GP circuit, German daily, Die Welt, caught up with Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone. The inevitable question that had to come up was regarding the future of the famed German circuit, to which Ecclestone replied saying, "It's quite possible that I'll buy it (Nurburgring)".

The historic circuit is a mecca for auto enthusiasts and manufacturers from around the world. But its popularity failed to save it from going bankrupt last year, in July. Back in May this year, it was revealed that ‘The Ring' would be sold to private players for €130 million ($170 million). But no progress seems to have been made yet.
