Red Bull Ring

The **Red Bull Ring** is a motorsport race track in Spielberg, Styria, Austria. The race circuit was first called **Österreichring** (translation: Austrian Circuit) when it opened in 1969 and hosted the Austrian Grand Prix in Formula One for 18 years in a row, from 1970 to 1987. It was later shortened, rebuilt and renamed the **A1-Ring** (A Eins-Ring), and it was home of the Austrian Grand Prix again from 1997 to 2003. It has been used now again in Formula One since 2020.
