Salzburgring

The Salzburgring is a motorsport race track located near Salzburg, Austria. Built in 1969, it's a classic European circuit known for its high-speed nature and beautiful Alpine setting. Although it no longer hosts major international racing series, it remains a popular venue for track days, club racing, and testing.

The Salzburgring is characterized by its fast, flowing layout with two long straights connected by sweeping corners. The track is nestled in a narrow valley between mountains, which gives it a unique character and limits the available runoff areas in some sections. This natural setting also creates its own microclimate, with rain often affecting only parts of the circuit.

Despite being a relatively simple layout, the Salzburgring is challenging due to its high speeds and the precision required through the fast corners. The track rewards brave, committed driving and is particularly well-suited to high-performance cars like Porsches that can make the most of its flowing nature.
