At the Red Bull Ring Classics, fans will be able to feast their eyes on an exhibition of legendary racing cars and movie cars in the paddock of the Red Bull Ring – including historic Formula 1 cars and Eleanor, the film prop from the movie Gone in 60 Seconds starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie. After taking you on a journey through motorsport history, brought to life by gems of their period, the Paddock Tour grants admission to the inner sanctuaries (i.e. where all the hard graft is done!) of various racing series, including Alfa Revival Cup, Histo Cup, Formula Historic, NK 82-90, Golden Era + Classic Cup. As a special treat, participants in the Paddock Tour get to hear fascinating tales from back then.
Tickets for the Paddock Tour are available from the ticket office of the mobile fan shop (Fan Zone) on a ‘first come, first served’ basis. You can also register for the tour in advance by e‑mailing fahrerlebnisse@redbullring.com.
Price: €15.00 per person
Tales from back then
On the Paddock Tour, you will hear some of the lesser-known stories about the vehicles on display at the Red Bull Ring. For example, the Lotus 77 that was being driven by Ronnie Peterson in the 1972 French Grand Prix when it kicked up the stone that penetrated Helmut Marko’s visor and injured his eye; later, in 1976, Gunnar Nilsson drove the Lotus to a podium finish at the Austrian Grand Prix. The Mercedes-AMG F1 W08 EQ Power+ is the car in which Valtteri Bottas won the 2017 Austrian Grand Prix at Spielberg. Other racing icons to be exhibited include the March-Cosworth in which Hans-Joachim Stuck contested the 1976 Formula 1 season, the Cooper T51 in which Jack Brabham won the 1959 F1 world championship, Karl Wendlinger’s Mercedes-Benz C11, which is capable of pushing the speedometer needle over 400 km/h, the 944 Porsche Turbo Cup from 1986, the famous ‘Rote Sau’ (Red Sow) and various legendary BMW racing cars.
