GENERAL ADMISSION TIPS

If you’re going to the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring with a general admission ticket, you’re in for a great weekend. The track is set in beautiful countryside and has some of the best GA viewing spots on the calendar. Some areas, like Turns 3 and 4, are part of the designated Green Tickets zone, which gives access to viewing banks with excellent views and nearby big screens. But there are also plenty of other great places to explore around the track as with natural hills around the circuit, it’s easy to find a good place to watch the action. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the best spot for your race weekend.

Turn 2
Turn 2 is more of a kink than a full corner, but it’s still worth a visit. From the top of the hill, you get a wide view of the track and can watch the cars going full speed uphill towards Turn 3. It’s also a quieter place to sit and enjoy the view. This area has big screens too, so you can follow the rest of the race while watching the cars fly past.

Turns 8 and 9
If you head towards Turns 8 and 9, you’ll find another good viewing area. Here, the cars are much faster and the track flows smoothly. Turn 9 especially is one of the quickest on the circuit. Watching the cars take it almost flat-out is an amazing sight. There’s usually a bit more space in this part of the track, so it’s a good option if you arrive later in the day.

Turn 3 – Remus
Turn 3 is one of the most exciting places to watch from in General Admission. It’s a tight right-hand hairpin at the top of the hill, where the cars come flying in after a long straight. This means there’s often heavy braking, overtaking, and lots of action.

The grassy area around Turn 3 is on a natural slope, so you get a great view of the corner and the straight leading up to it. On clear days, you can also see parts of Turn 2 and Turn 4 from the same spot. There are big TV screens nearby too, which helps you keep track of what’s happening around the rest of the circuit.

Turn 4 – Schlossgold
Just after Turn 3, the cars head down towards Turn 4. From the outside of this corner, you can see them brake hard and fight for position. This spot is a bit less busy than Turn 3, but still offers a good view of the action. The grass banks give you a clear look at how the cars handle this downhill part of the circuit.

Helpful tips

  • Get to the gates early, especially on Sunday, as the popular grassy banks around Turn 3 and other key areas fill up quickly.
  • Bring a folding chair or a picnic blanket so you can stay comfortable throughout the day. Some areas have uneven ground and it really helps to have your own seat.
  • Pack suncream, sunglasses, a hat and plenty of water. Most general admission spots have very little shade and the sun can be strong even early in the day.
  • Always bring a raincoat or umbrella just in case it rains. The grassy hills can get muddy and slippery and there is not much shelter in general admission areas.
  • Take your own food and drinks, especially on race day. It means you won’t need to leave your spot as often and you can avoid the long queues at busy times.
  • If you are going with friends or family, take turns going for food or using the toilet so someone is always there to hold your place.
  • Use Friday and Saturday sessions to walk around the track and try different viewpoints. It will help you find your favourite spot for Sunday.
  • Be ready for a lot of walking during the day. The circuit is quite large and the ground can be uneven. Wear comfortable shoes you have already broken in and consider bringing plasters or blister pads just in case. A small backpack is handy for carrying your things.
  • Try not to wear your nicest shoes. If it rains, the ground becomes muddy very quickly and practical footwear is much better.
  • If you can, pick a place where you can also see one of the big screens. That way you can follow the rest of the race even when the cars are not in front of you.
