Salzburgring

When thinking about race tracks in Austria, the Red Bull Ring immediately comes to mind for most. The former Österreichring and A1 Ring is without a doubt the country's most popular circuit - but there are other great options, like the Salzburgring.

Located east of the namesake town, the Salzburgring was opened in the same year the Österreichring opened its gates for the first time in 1969, and much like Austrian Grand Prix's venue, it features considerable elevation changes along its layout. The track has seen few alterations since, having been slowed down by chicanes in two spots.

Despite this, the track still has an old-school flair, with the flat-out back "straight" evoking memories of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife. Situated in a valley, the Salzburgring's surroundings are picturesque - not that you would have much time to look at the landscape when flying down the track.

Due to its fast and flowing nature, the track works well with vintage cars like the Group 5 machines that ran in the DRM, but modern GT cars and smaller Formula cars are also a good time at the Salzburgring. Cranking up the adrenaline dial to 11 using a Group C car or the Formula RaceRoom X-22 is always an option as well.
