The Red Bull Ring may be small, but it packs a lot into a single lap. The vehicles rush through three straights split by a pair of steep right-handers in the opening half, which rewards power. The track becomes a real toboggan ride as the vehicles slide through a succession of sharp corners, including the exciting Rindt right-hander, named after Austria's first F1 champion, as the drivers work their way downwards.
The Red Bull Ring's 'Nord' grandstand, which is situated around the edge of what used to be the Bosch Kurve at the Osterreichring, offers one of the greatest views of Formula One. As the track lowers away from you down the natural slope of the circuit, you'll have a terrific viewing position over much of it.
The Red Bull Ring, nestled in an enchanting natural bowl in the Styrian highlands, is one of the most beautiful race circuits in the world. That creates a great atmosphere for a Grand Prix, and if you're looking for tourist attractions to visit after the race, go no farther than Graz's museum devoted to the city's favorite son, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
