The highest bidder will be able to purchase the race track and its lock, stock and carousel, according to Jens Lieser, the state-appointed liquidator. It is yet known if the whole racing park will be sold in parts or not. Sources say that there are between 5 and 10 serious buyers already. The official price has not been disclosed to the public but rumors give a figure of only €125 million for the whole thing.

If a private buyer decided to buy it, are manufacturers still allowed to have tests on their cars on the track? :motz:

Of course. For a fee.

Last time it was euro75 for 4 laps. They give like a touch n go card.
