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.
The optimum means of transport
Ideally, you should leave your car at home and travel by bus, train or bicycle. There are a number of public transport options for a relaxed journey to the MotoGP at the Red Bull Ring. Interregional bus transfers are available from various parts of Austria on Saturday 19th September and Sunday 20th September. You can board in Salzburg, Carinthia or Styria.
Leave early and plan your route
The golden rule is that, the earlier you set off, the faster you’ll get there! Increased traffic is to be expected on the MotoGP weekend, so take advantage of the fact that the car parks open one hour before the Red Bull Ring itself.
Depending on your approach route, our stewards will direct you to the nearest free car park. These are within walking distance of the race track. Make a note of your car park number, which is displayed at the respective entrance. This will save you a frustrating search when you leave.
Travel by bike or train
Car and bike are also a perfect combination for getting to the Red Bull Ring. Instead of spending the last few kilometres in traffic, leave your car in the Park & Bike facility at the Fohnsdorf thermal spa and cycle the rest of the way stress-free.
Travel by train is also highly recommended. With an “ÖBB Sparschiene” ticket, you can make the journey inexpensively from anywhere in Austria to Knittelfeld station. From there, a free shuttle bus will take you to the race track.
On two motorised wheels to Spielberg
If you are travelling by motorbike, there are alternatives to using the A9 and S36. From the north, you can reach the Red Bull Ring via the Triebener Tauern, and from the south via the Gaberl or the Obdacher Sattel. The central, free of charge motorcycle car park has biker changing rooms. For a fee (€15.00 per day or €35.00 for the whole weekend), you can leave your motorcycle equipment there. Incidentally, you don’t have to be a motorcyclist to use the biker cloakrooms. All visitors are welcome to store larger bags, suitcases and other bulky items there.
Conveniently located at the campsite
If you are planning to arrive at the campsite on Wednesday or Thursday, you’re guaranteed ‘pole position’. To ensure optimum distribution of campers across the site, new arrivals from Thursday onwards will be guided to their pitch by signs on the S36 Murtal expressway.
