The Red Bull Ring is a motorsport race track in Spielberg, Styria, Austria.[4] 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.
