Like most fast circuits it was a hard circuit on engines but more difficult on tires, because of the speeds being so consistently high. It had noticeable changes in elevation during the course of a lap, 65 m (213 ft) from lowest to highest point. Although narrow at 10 m (11 yd) in all places, the track was very fast, every corner was a fast sweeper and was taken in no lower than third gear in a five-speed gearbox and fourth in a six-speed gearbox. Originally built in 1969 to replace the bland and bumpy Zeltweg Airfield circuit located just across the street, the Österreichring track was situated in the Styrian mountains and it was a visually spectacular and scenic circuit. The corner lined in gray, "Voest-Hügel", was used on the circuit's original configuration from 1969 to 1976. Österreichring track layout from 1977 to 1995, with Hella-Licht chicane. The Red Bull Ring also hosted a second F1 event named the Styrian Grand Prix in 20 and a second MotoGP event named the Styrian motorcycle Grand Prix in 20 after the COVID-19 pandemic affected the schedules of both of those seasons. Formula One returned to the circuit in the 2014 season, and MotoGP returned to the circuit in the 2016 season. Renamed the Red Bull Ring the track was reopened on and subsequently hosted a round of the 2011 DTM season and a round of the 2011 F2 championship.
Parts of the circuit, including the pits and main grandstand, were demolished, but construction work was stopped and the circuit remained unusable for several years before it was purchased by Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz and rebuilt. When Formula One outgrew the circuit, a plan was drawn up to extend the layout. It was later shortened, rebuilt and renamed the A1-Ring (A Eins-Ring), and it hosted the Austrian Grand Prix again from 1997 to 2003.
The race circuit was founded as Österreichring (translation: Austrian Circuit) and hosted the Austrian Grand Prix for 18 consecutive years, from 1970 to 1987. The Red Bull Ring is a motorsport race track in Spielberg, Styria, Austria.
