In mid-January 2012, the German race track Nuerburgring announced to cut 92 out of 338 jobs. The job cuts affect permanent staff as well as employees on fixed-term contracts, which will not be renewed
As it became already known in December 2011, the company is at stake due to shortage of visitors and high fixed costs to maintain the facilities.
