The Austrian Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race. The first event was held in 1964 at a race track on the Zeltweg Airfield. The track was deemed too dangerous. It was narrow and very bumpy. Spectators complained of poor viewing areas. The FIA removed the race from the F1 calendar until a better circuit was built.
From 1970 until 1987, the event was held at the Österreichring, located near Zeltweg. In 1975, it was also titled the European Grand Prix. In 1987, the FIA decided that the circuit was too dangerous. The race was dropped for a decade.
In 1995 and 1996, the track was heavily modified and brought up to modern standards. The race returned to F1 in 1997. The circuit was renamed the A1-Ring, after a sponsor. Most of the new track is located in Speilberg. Spielberg was now used as the location of the Grand Prix. The race was dropped again due to monetary issues after the 2003 race.
In 2014, the current owners of the track, Red Bull, brought the race back to the track, now named Red Bull Ring.
