This week, the management group overseeing Germany’s Nürburgring Nordschleife moved to ban manufacturers from attempting and publishing timed laps on the famed, 13-mile course.

Official word from Nurburgring management is that these restrictions will be reviewed at the end of the year, but for the time being, manufacturers like Koenigsegg are banned from attempting lap-time runs — even if they’ve rented out the entire track for themselves.

The article was published four days ago, but I'm unable to find any other sources. Considering the article's source is from Christian Von Koenigsegg himself, it appears this ban has only been sent to car companies at the moment and there has been no press coverage on it yet.

The article focuses mainly on how Koenigsegg was planning on running the One:1 at the Nurburgring this week to beat the lap record, however that is no longer possible.
