Austrian Grand Prix circuit
The 2024 Austrian Grand Prix takes place over 71 laps of the 4.318-kilometre Red Bull Ring in Spielberg on Sunday, June 30.
One of the most picturesque circuits on the F1 calendar, the Red Bull Ring resembles a toboggan run as it sits in a natural bowl in the mountains of Styria. It's a short track that boasts the quickest lap time of any F1 circuit.
Originally constructed in 1969, the Osterreichring, as it was formerly known, hosted the Austrian GP for 18 consecutive years between 1970 and 1987 before being made shorter and faster by F1 track designer Hermann Tilke in 1995-96.
Formula 1 abandoned the circuit in 2004 and didn't return until 2014, when it was rebuilt by Red Bull Racing founder Dietrich Matershitz, who re-opened it as the Red Bull Ring.
The Austrian Grand Prix starts at 3 p.m. local time and it won't be short of action. The first half of the Red Bull Ring is punctuated by three straights that require raw power; the second half is downhill and features the Rindt right-hander, named in honor of Austria’s first F1 champion.
