It was later shortened, rebuilt and renamed the A1-Ring (A Eins-Ring), and it hosted the Austrian Grand Prix again from 1997 to 2003.

History[edit | edit source]
The Red Bull Ring's history dates back to the 1960s. The track was originally known as the Österreichring and was a popular venue for Grand Prix motorcycle racing. In 1996, it was purchased by Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz and got a new name, the A1-Ring. The track was re-opened in 1997 with a new, shorter layout. The track remained in use for various racing series, including the DTM and Formula Three.
In 2004, the track was closed for remodeling. The track was lengthened, and the infrastructure was updated to meet the standards of modern Formula One. The track was reopened in 2011 as the Red Bull Ring. The Red Bull Ring has been hosting the Austrian Grand Prix since 2014.
