GETTING
THERE

Graz Airport (GRZ) is the closest airport at 55km — direct connections from Frankfurt, Vienna, and Amsterdam year-round. Vienna International (VIE) is larger with more global routes but adds 2+ hours of ground travel. Rent a car at Graz or take the direct ÖBB train from Graz Hauptbahnhof toward Knittelfeld (journey: 45 minutes, hourly service).

Take an ÖBB intercity train to Knittelfeld station — direct trains run from Graz (45 min), Vienna (2h 15min), and Salzburg (2h). From Knittelfeld, official ÖBB race shuttles depart every 10–15 minutes to the circuit gates and cost around €5 return. Buy your shuttle ticket in advance at oebb.at — queues at the station on race day are long, so have your ticket loaded in the ÖBB app.

Red Bull Ring operates official shuttle services from Knittelfeld, Zeltweg, and Judenburg throughout the race weekend. Shuttles run from gates opening (typically 07:00) through 2 hours after the final session ends. The Knittelfeld route is the most frequent and reliable — confirm the timetable at redbullring.com closer to race weekend as schedules are published approximately 6 weeks out.

The A9 Pyhrn motorway brings you directly into the Spielberg area — follow the race weekend signage from junction Zeltweg. Pre-purchase a parking pass via the official circuit website (P1–P8 zones; P1 and P2 are nearest the main grandstands at a premium). Expect 45–90 minutes in post-race traffic — the circuit's one-road-in situation turns the mountain valley into a temporary car park, so build buffer time or walk to a shuttle pick-up point and retrieve your car later.

Helicopter transfers to the circuit helipad are bookable through Red Bull Ring hospitality packages, typically originating from Graz Airport or central Vienna. Journey time from Graz is approximately 20 minutes. Transfers are bundled with Paddock Club and premium hospitality packages — contact the circuit's hospitality team directly through redbullring.com for standalone charter options.
