Yup, I'd bet the "increase rates to decrease traffic" bit is PR, an excuse to take advantage of popularity and avoid admitting "we're increasing rates just because we can...demand is high and we know you'll pay more...and we want more money."

This also has a lot to do with the new owners reducing the hours the track is open to the public. It's to bad, cause it sure is a great place to run fast.
Don't know if anyone else was aware of the pile-up accident that happened a month or so ago. Collected a rare 911 Carrera. Cars came up and around a bend to see a mobile warning sign flashing about construction and caught a fair number of cars out. -
That's really a shame to see. I suppose that's just the nature of the beast with a track as famous as the Nurburgring.

I'd be pissed if my track day was spent worrying about blind corners and stopped traffic...
That was a LOT of traffic!!! -
