Ring Racer, stylized as Ring°racer, is a Formula One-themed roller coaster which was due to open on August 15, 2009[1] at the Nürburgring race course as part of the Nürburgring 2009 project.
It was originally planned to accelerate from 0 to 217 kilometres per hour (135 mph) in 2.5 seconds.[1] parallel to the grand prix track. However, two defects in the launch system delayed its opening until 2013.[2] On 3 September 2009, engineers attempted to raise the ride to its full and intended speed as it had been testing at a lower power, however this caused a series of explosions in the pneumatic system and caused injuries to seven people, and shattered multiple windows in the nearby buildings.[3][4][5]
It was manufactured by S&S - Sansei and features a pneumatic launch. This accelerates the coaster from 0–99.4 miles per hour (160.0 km/h) in less than 2 seconds, double the acceleration of a Formula 1 driver in the same period of time.[6]
According to the local state, Rhineland-Palatinate, the cost of Ring Racer accumulated to a total of 12.3 million Euro.[7]
In 2014, it was announced by Nürburgring that Ring Racer wouldn't start running again as the ride is not economically viable.[citation needed]
