INTERESTING FACTS
The Red Bull Ring is located in Spielberg in the Styria region of Austria. Surrounded by green meadows and rolling hills the 4.326 kilometres long circuit features spectacular alpine scenery (the track is 600 metres above sea level). The circuit layout includes long straights and fast and slow turns with many elevation changes.
The nearest international airport in Vienna is approximately two hours’ drive away, while a smaller airport located outside of Graz is closer and offers domestic flights and connections to central Europe.
Private planes can land in Zeltweg, which is right next to the track.
The track was opened in 1969 and originally named Österreichring. In the nineties it was shortened, rebuilt and renamed the A1-Ring. When Formula One outgrew the circuit, the facilities were redesigned and only reopened again in 2011 under its current name. Despite the modernisation, the circuit has largely retained its original character.
Current FIA F3 European Champion Lance Stroll (then Prema Powerteam) was able to wrap up the title at the penultimate race meeting in 2016. This year, Lando Norris (Carlin) will try to match this achievement.
