We have a Zolder section, why no nurburgring one?

[4lf4-155]

Just noticed that we have a Zolder section and it got me thinking, why no nurburgring or any other track specific sections?

So many of us go to the ring or other tracks, specific sections would be an easy way of collating the many threads that appear.

They could also be a useful resell price for advice, events etc happening at each significant venue.

I think Zolder was in existence when I joined Ted here about 7 years ago! I have no idea why it was created or why it remains alone.

Do you think a 'ring forum would be popular?

I don't think so, the track-day forum is not exactly inundated with them, TBH if the zolder forum went it would probably be an improvement seeing as it's in the TVR subsection anyway

IIRC, it was set up as there was some sort of TVR gathering there that the TVRCC held set up in the early 2000s, maybe 2003?

It might not be 'busy' in terms of threads but it could be a good wiki

I agree, it would be further unnecessary segmentation.

It's because there is/was an annual TVR event at Zolder and a forum was created within the TVR section for discussion around it. I guess the analogy would be the 'VMax' or 'Sunday Service' forums within the Events section.

There aren't any PH-centric events at the 'Ring (or any other circuit) that warrant the creation of a separate forum for discussion. There are plenty of other sections where you can start threads though - perhaps 'Track Days' as a starter.
