MANY WAYS LEAD TO FORMULA 1 AT THE RED BULL RING

It is advisable to think about your arrival to Formula 1 early to make sure it is a relaxed one. The least stressful, most affordable and most environmentally friendly way to the Red Bull Ring is via bus, rail or bicycle. Should you decide to come by car, a traffic guidance system along the routes makes finding the parking areas easier. These open one hour before the track premises and are free to use for ticket holders.

How to get to Formula 1 in comfort

Pit stop at the Red Bull Ring Fan Shop

Get yourself a proper F1 outfit to show your support during the F1 weekend! Visit the Merchandise Stores in the F1 Fan Zone (behind the Niki Lauda Kurve) and the Steiermark Village (opposite the Red Bull Wing) to grab the latest F1 team collections. And if you’re looking for a truly special memento you should take a pit stop at the Red Bull Ring Fan Shop. There, you can get your hands on the exclusive Red Bull Ring collection (you can find it in the Welcome Center or at the “Westschleife”).

Motorsport meets music

Additionally, amazing musical acts will keep your pulse high throughout the entire F1 weekend. In the official F1 Fan Zone in the area behind Turn 1 (Niki Lauda Kurve) VIZE, Toby Romeo, RIAN, Knallblech and folkshile will be putting the heat on. More traditional tunes can be heard in the Steiermark Village opposite the Red Bull Wing. Ticket holders can enter both Fan Zones free of charge. Don’t miss a single highlight: Mark your favorites in the Red Bull Ring app and get a reminder 30 minutes before they start.

Please note that cashless payment is the only accepted form of payment in many areas around the Red Bull Ring. All major credit and debit cards are accepted, as is the Red Bull Ring Cashless Card.
