RACE WEEKEND TIPS

Check out our helpful tips to make sure you enjoy the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring to the fullest.

• The first piece of advice is clear - get there early. And this is especially important on Sunday during race day. Better than waiting in the queue is to enjoy the atmosphere of the race on the circuit, don't you think? The ideal time to arrive at the circuit is around 9 am.
• Plan what you will do and where you want to go. If you're going with friends, bear in mind that, especially on Sundays, the mobile phone network on the circuit is overloaded, and phone and data services may not work. Always arrange a checkpoint where you can meet up if you get lost.
