Sure, that was a great loss, but realistically, the only way the 'ring could have stayed on the calendar until today (to satisfy safety, television facilities, spectators), would have been with some crappy hack job. I'm just glad they decided to solve the problem by building a lame track next door instead of carving up the Nordschliefe.
Fantastic circuit, undoubtably the toughest, most hellish motor circuit in the world, but quite frankly, as sad as it is to say it, I really have to admit that the 'ring could not have been kept on the calendar after Lauda's accident. That said, it's my dream to see an F1 car/F1 race on that track...
At least the track still gets a workout in the 24 hr race.
