The state government in Rhineland-Palatinate, which owns financially
troubled operating company Nuerburgring GmbH, decided on the move on
Wednesday, the dapd news agency reported.
State governor Kurt Beck said the reason was that the European Union's
executive commission wasn't expected to approve planned government aid
of €13 million by the end of this month.
That would lead "with high probability to an insolvency at the end of
the month because of a lack of liquidity," Beck said in the state
capital, Mainz. He said his government decided to pre-empt that by
choosing to launch "orderly insolvency proceedings."
The German GP has alternated in recent years between the Nuerburgring and Hockenheim. This week's race is at Hockenheim.
