About the Circuit

Nestled in the Styrian mountains, the Red Bull Ring is one of the shortest and fastest laps on the calendar. Despite having only 10 corners, the dramatic elevation changes and combination of uphill braking zones with fast straights create exciting racing. The thin mountain air at altitude affects engine and aerodynamic performance, adding a unique technical challenge.
