It’s not only the MotoGP teams who need to prepare for the race weekend. When thousands of fans from all over Europe start to descend on Spielberg, make sure that you’re ahead of the game.
We recommend leaving your car at home and taking the bus or train, or even coming by bicycle. The ÖBB “Sparschiene” ticket entitles you to get to Knittelfeld train station from all over Austria. From there you can take the free shuttle bus to the race track.
By train to the MotoGP: Infos, tickets & timetables
The option with bicycle can also be combined with a car journey to the Red Bull Ring. Instead of getting stuck in a traffic jam for the last few miles, use the Park & Bike facility at Therme Fohnsdorf and enjoy a pleasant, stress-free ride to your final destination.
If you arrive on your motorcycle, consider an alternative route to the A9 and S36. You can travel to the Red Bull Ring from the north via the Triebener Tauern or from the south via the Gaberl.
The central motorcycle parking lot at P4 has biker lockers. You can leave your motorcycle equipment there for a fee (15 euros/day or 35 euros/weekend).
Important note: You don’t have to be a motorcyclist to use the biker lockers. You are also welcome to store larger bags, suitcases, etc. in the biker wardrobe.
By arriving at your chosen campsite on Wednesday or Thursday, you will be putting yourself ‘in pole position’. LED signs will be displayed on the S36 Murtal motorway from Thursday onwards to guide motorists to the various campsites and optimise traffic flows.
The universal rule is: An early departure will get you to your destination faster. On the MotoGP weekend, increased traffic is to be expected, so you should take advantage of the fact that the car parks will open one hour before the gates to the Red Bull Ring itself.
Depending on the approach route you choose, our on-site stewards will direct you to the nearest car park. These are all within walking distance of the race track. We recommend that you make a mental or written note of your car park number, which is clearly displayed at the entrance. This could save you a frantic search at the end of the event!
