Salzburgring
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Salzburgring is a 4.2km race track in Austria, east of Salzburg.
This race track had been opened in 1968. Lying in a narrow, alpine valley, it has a rather simple layout, with two long straights plus the sweeping and fast "Fahrerlagerkurve" ("paddock turn") at the bottom, and the narrow "Nockstein-Kehre" on the top. In spite of its simple layout, it garnered a fearsome reputation for the high speeds reached on the straights and the "Fahrerlagerkurve".
It hosts mainly touring car races like the German ADAC Procar, DPM, DTC, STW, but several Grand Prix motorcycle racing and the Austrian motorcycle Grand Prix events were held there also. And there had been Oldtimer Grand Prix as well as during the last years a "Ruper Hollaus Memorial".
