The Red Bull Ring is a motorsport race track in Spielberg, Styria, Austria.
Accommodation:
The cheapest option are the Camping spots all around the circuit. There are quite a few Hotels in Spielberg but they do tend to get quickly booked and the prices can get a bit steep. Camping at the Ring has the advantages that you can enjoy all the Shows around the Ring during your stay. (e.g. Concerts, Autographs, etc.)
If you stay in one of the neighboring cities because Spielberg is booked or very expensive, I would recommend Graz, as it's one of the major cities and it's about 45 minutes away in car, the city has some great food options and Airbnb is full of cheap apartments. Book accommodations in advance.
Getting to the track:
If you are Camping on the Circuit or in a Hotel in Spielberg you can walk comfortably, otherwise there are Bus and Train connections available in the region, specially for the Event. If you take a car, parking is very well organized, on race day it gets a bit full but the traffic flowed nicely but was dense, there are very clear directions and police directing the traffic as well, just get there well in advance and relax and have a good time, no stress.
Seating:
General admission has a vast area to offer seats (pro tip: sit at the end of turn three, as close to the grandstand as possible, you get a good view from the straight down into the turn, a good overtaking spot. If you go past the grandstand you can climb some rocks for an even better view).
Food:
There are food trucks for every taste and preferences all around the event. You won't need to go hungry. At the Grandstands you can buy snacks and refreshments during the Race. Two hot dogs went for about 5 Euros and one glass of beer for about the same price in 2017, so be ready to pay. Also, you can bring food, drink and snacks in your bag, we were in general admission an trust me, if it's as hot as it was, you need the water.
What to avoid:
Avoid coming by car if possible, traffic gets horrible especially after the Race ended on Sunday.
