"ring°racer is a Formula One-themed roller coaster which was due to open on August 15, 2009 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. parallel to the grand prix track. However, two defects in the launch system delayed its opening until 2013. On 3 September 2009, a series of explosions in the pneumatic system caused injuries to seven people, and shattered windows.

It was manufactured by S&S Worldwide and features a pneumatic launch. This accelerates the coaster from 0–99.4 mph (0–160 km/h) in less than 2 seconds, double the acceleration of a Formula 1 driver in the same period of time.

According to the local state, Rhineland-Palatinate, the cost of ring°racer accumulated to a total of 12.3 million Euro.

In 2014, it was announced by Nürburgring that ring°racer wouldn't start running again as the ride is not economically viable."
