A special feature of the Red Bull Ring are its elevation changes as well as the unique views of the track they allow. Hermann Tilke, the world's most renowned race circuit designer himself, took on the task of designing the new Red Bull Ring homologized by FIA as "Grade A". The length of 4.318 km corresponds to the Grand Prix circuit during the period from 1996 to 2003. Two junctions on the racetrack allow for a separation into a northern and a southern track. The lower section (2.4 km) is also suited for major events and uses the main facility's infrastructure. The northern section, with a length of 1.9 km, can be used as additional space for events. A special feature of this racetrack is the difference in altitude (maximum uphill slope of 12 %, maximum downhill slope of 9.3 %). The inauguration of the racetrack was made in May 2011 and since then high-class racing events have taken place there thrilling the fans. The Red Bull Ring guarantees unforgettable driving experiences. Here, anything is possible – as long as it’s related to petrol, acceleration and adrenaline.
