It’s summertime in south-eastern Austria and the hills are alive with the sound of Formula One. The Red Bull Ring near Spielberg is a circuit familiar to F1 in various forms since first appearing on the calendar in 1969 as the Österreichring.

The circuit was shortened when it made a return to the sport as the A1 Ring in 1997, but like the new Spa retained much of the character of the original. The setting amidst the magnificent alpine scenery of the Styrian mountains is unique and serves to enhance the look and sound of the F1 cars.

Its most recent return to the calendar in 2014 was welcomed by many fans in an era when F1 had been edging away from traditional European race tracks. The Red Bull Ring is an old school Grand Prix goers experience, far away from the glamour and conveniences of a large international city.

The Austrian Grand Prix attracts enthusiastic fans who create a music festival-like atmosphere on the circuit’s grassy hills and in the campsites. It’s a place for the cool box and the fold-up chairs; for true motorsports fans, with petrol running through their veins and carbon fibre for bones.

Only rumoured plans to revert to the old track layout of the much-loved Österreichring could make the experience any better than it already is. Until then thousands of happy F1 spectators will continue to enjoy one of F1’s great circuits the way it is.

Austrian Grand Prix F1 Spectator Tips

  • The region caters well to cyclists. You can even bring your bike and make use of cycle lanes connecting car parks and the circuit, where bike parks are provided.
  • Stay up with all the on track events – race commentary is available on 97.2 MHz.
  • The nearest airport with international connections is Graz, but you’re likely to find cheaper flights to Vienna.

Weather & Climate

Spielberg Weather

Summertime weather in the Styrian Mountains where the Austrian Grand Prix is held is usually clear and sunny. The areas elevation means it often avoids the sweltering heat of lower lying areas but you’d still be advised to pack some sun screen for those long days in the grandstands.
