Latest word is that the Ring will probably open late this year. They did a lot of resurfacing and other work this winter and apparently winter closed in on them before they could finish up.

Also, the plan is apparently to install some lights around the Nordschleife on a test basis. They will blink yellow as a warning for accidents. They will be solar powered and operated by SMS. 4-6 to begin with on a trial basis.
