The Nurburgring is not closed.

The regional German government owns the Nurburging, and for the past two years had leased the operating rights to a private company. The regional German government has terminated the lease with the private company, and wants to find new operators. As the search for new operators takes place the regional German government will take control of the track and fund all facility operations.
