I've been to the Ring a few times and it's a blast. As I recall in Las Vegas there is a sort of Eifel Tower. Nuff said.

I was in Vegas last january and was really impressed by what they done, this city have no limits, if they want to build a replica of the ring i'm sure they can.

It would just add to the several reasons I already have to go visit Vegas. I would love to get back on the Nürburgring again!

Adequate runoffs and traps.... Sounds like a good deal to me.

Only downside I can see would be that it wouldnt be Green Hell ... more like Brown Hell with cactus instead of trees LOL

Again be sure to show your support on my my FB link. As share this to as many enthusiasts you can. More support = better chance of it happening.

The lack of runoffs is a great part of the true green hell experience. But I see your point

Yeah but I'm pretty sure I'd rather run it without that part. I'm ok with a vagified 'Ring experience.

I highly doubt this will happen, but it would be fantastic if it did.

I ran the 'Ring myself two years ago. It was a great experience. I had Sabine powerslide around me twice in the M5 'Ring taxi!

Anything can happen with enough support. With the Econ taking a huge hit on Las Vegas Im sure the Gov would be open to new ideas. We have a TON of land here thats not being used and it wouldnt really cost the state anything to donate some, in return creating jobs, and tourism.
