The track is hot: Red Bull Ring – Südkurs

Discover the irresistible allure of Austria’s most famous race track

The South Circuit (Südkurs) counts as the ‘little brother’ of the Grand Prix circuit. At 2.4 kilometres, it is about half the distance, but it is no less spectacular than the track configuration on which the MotoGP riders will be burning rubber in just under two weeks’ time. Shortly before reaching the Münzer chicane, the South Circuit makes a right turn. This is followed by a flowing right-left combination and then back onto the main track before Turn 7. The familiar Red Bull Ring corners then await, including the Jochen Rindt.

Fact check: South Circuit

  • Track length: 2.4 kilometres
