- Itinerary + tips:
Thursday
• We arrived at 9 A.M. at the main entrance to see the drivers. They started showing up after 10 for their Track walk and press conference.
• There was a ticket booth for the Pit Lane walk. The tickets were 20 Euros but they were limited and already sold out. Better find them online if you want to experience the Pit Lane and see the garages.
• We made some friends there and found out that some drivers were taking photos with fans. We followed their directions and met with the drivers. We got some autographs and some cool photos.
• Gates opened at around 12, the entry was free to everyone. We had a lot of activities to choose from.
• We could sit in the Grandstands in Turn 1 and watch the Safety cars go around the track to check it. Some drivers did their Track walk late, but we weren´t there to see them.
• The Fan Zone area had simulator games, more shops, food courts, a bungee jumping area, iconic F1 cars on display and a main stage with DJs and music.
• The main stage will host F2 and F3 drivers on Thursday, and F1 drivers on Friday. Ask around to find out when will the drivers come there. They will take pictures with fans and hand them autographs.
• In the camping area, people bring their business and sell F1 merchandise with lower price. You could check them out.
Friday
• This weekend was a Sprint + Race weekend, that meant we had the Qualifying on Friday and the Sprint on Saturday.
• Our accommodation was about 1 hour away from the track. On Friday we didn’t rush to get to our seats and because people tend to come right before the big event of the day, the roads to the track were crowded. Parking areas were also full, we had to park 35 minutes away on foot.
• Entrance is possible only with a valid ticked, for your sector. Your backpacks will be checked. You are not allowed to bring glass bottles but you can have food and drinks even though there are enough food courts.
• The grass area was not crowded, we had enough place to look for a spot and set our blankets. We didn’t have chairs on our first day. We found out they are very practical.
• Check the video to see where we think the best seats on the grass are, make sure you have a screen nearby, to see the race and the replays. Without it you won’t know what’s happening.
• We watched F3, F2 and F1 practice sessions and in between, some entertaining sessions, such as the Red Bull Driftbrothers and Paddock Club track tours. The same would be happening on Saturday and Sunday, in between sessions.
• Once the F1 Qualifying started, the crowd changed. Everyone was now paying attention to the race and started cheering and singing. Awesome atmosphere.
Saturday
• We were better prepared now. We left earlier to avoid the traffic (around 9), we bought chairs for our own comfort and we found the closest parking place. We parked around 10 and we did 20 minutes to our sector.
• The sun was a bit too intense so we used our umbrellas to block it and stay in the shade.
• Again, we watched F3, F2 sessions and this time, also Porsche Super Cup. Time passed quickly, with funny red bull fans on our right and food and beer shops on our left.
• The F1 Sprint race created the crazy atmosphere again, this time the red bull fans brought some orange smoke with them. It was a cool view.
• After the race, the party continued in the Fan Zone until late into the night.
Sunday
• We decided to be very early in our sector, to get good seats for the show. We woke up at 5 and arrived in our sector at around 7:15. The track opened at 7, we weren’t the only ones there, but we managed to get good seats.
• This is not the case if you buy a ticket in the grandstands, where you’ll have your own seat and every seat will have a good view. But for us, in the grass, the atmosphere was definitely better.
• Sunday was the busiest day when it came to entertainment events. We had a spectacular Air Show with many planes, helicopters and parachutists.
• After the Air Show, the noise moved from the air onto the track with the arrival of the Iconic F1 cars like Vettel’s 2012 Red Bull, Mario Andretti’s Lotus or Niki Lauda’s Ferrari. They amazed us with the sweet engine sounds of the past.
• This show was followed by the Driver’s Parade. All the drivers did a lap and saluted the crowd.
• The most awaited moment arrived and we watched the cars line up on the grid. The feeling was fantastic and hard to describe. Thousands of people supporting different teams were standing all together, enjoying the same race and cheering every action from the track.
• The race was also eventful and intense, and everyone was cheerful, no matter who the winner was.
All in all, this was a great experience that we will definitely go through again in the future. I hope you’ll be able to experience it too and hopefully we were able to give you an idea of what to expect from it.

Great video, I will be there this week to see my first F1 race live from track 😍
Enjoy the weekend!
feels soooooooo weird since i just came back from a trip where i visited the track. first time in europe it was awesome
Hey! Great overview of the GP weekend you got there! Just bought tickets to 24 GP in Austria, just wondering if you could get any tips on the camping there. First GP for us, but many metal festivals we went to, so I was just wondering if this is anyhow different. Thanks and cheers :)
Hey, as you could see, we didn’t have much experience with camping, all i can say we saw a lot of camping areas that were very close to the track. People are partying there the entire night. I think you need to buy a camping spot really early, they will probably be sold out as is the normal accommodation. Maybe someone who camped there and reads this, can tell you more.
@@yourtraveltime and where did you purchase the pit lane walk tickets?
@@kasparsbanders7874 I didn’t but you can find them online, on the f1 website.
where is the main entrance were you met the drivers? I wanted to find it on google maps, but i can’t :( I’m going there in 2024, and really wanna meet them.
Hey, thanks for asking. Try searching Schloss Gabelhofen on google maps. It's not far away from the track. I met them there.
Was the place on grass from where you watched qualifications free or did you need tickets?
The green area is the cheapest because there are no seats, but the view is as good. We payed 120 euro for the entire weekend.
@@yourtraveltime is it to late to buy the tickets now for RedBull ring?
I think it’s late to find tickets for entire weekend now, but you can check online.
Thinking about going in 24, were you standing just after Turn 3 and can also see down to 6 & 7 ? What is the closest airport and did you get a hire car and stay in a hotel, thanks
Hey, yeah, the general admission area is between turn 3 and 4 and you can see turns 6 and 7 also, and the uphill after turn 8. I would say Vienna is the closes and biggest Airport. There are also smaller ones, depends from where you’re coming. I drove my own car and stayed at Airbnb. You can use public transportation or rent a car but if you wanna find a place to stay, you should search already. The longer you wait, the further away you’ll find something.
@@yourtraveltime thanks, will start looking for accommodation, coming from Scotland so will be flying to Vienna and a hire car 👍
I saw Austrian GP of MotoGP last week and we took plane in Vienna
I think there is also an airport in Graz which is located 1 hour from the circuit
Hello, In the video 1:10 you are showing drivers. Where you found them? Next to main entrance or where?
also you were in 2022 there?
@@WeezyZZ Yes, the race was in 2022.
Hey, we were lucky to find out from other fans, where some of the drivers were staying during the weekend. It was a hotel, not far away from the track. I can't say where because of privacy issues, plus, I don't know if they stay there every year. We were waiting for the drivers to arrive at the track on Thursday, when, making conversation with other fans, someone told us where they met the drivers one day before. I hope this information helps you.
@@yourtraveltimecould you tell me where you met them on thursday? Which entrance? If possible i can give you my email to text
Text me on Instagram. My name is George Lacatis
Nice video. Thank you for sharing information and your experience. Can we get in touch somehow? I would like to speak with you a little bit more about this. 🙂
Hey. You can find me on Instagram. My name is George Lacatis there, with ‘Travel Time’ in the description. Leave me a message and I’ll try to help.
Any tips to get pictures with the pilots?
There is no successful recipe for that, but with luck, you can take fotos of them in the fan zone area, most likely on Friday. Another way would be to wait for them at the entrance of the track, on thursday/friday/etc, some of them might stop. We met them on Thursday evening, at the hotel where they stayed. Some fans told us where they were staying and we went there. Good luck!
@@yourtraveltime thanks!
@@yourtraveltimedo they sign autographs at the fanzone aswell?
Yes, last year was on Friday, at the main stage
