The Red Bull Ring is a motorsport race track in Spielberg, Styria, Austria. The track was known for having many crashes at the start of races because the start–finish straight was very narrow (about 9.1m wide), while most start–finish straights on other tracks were 18 to 24m and it did not provide enough space for cars attempting to pass. Late in 2008, Red Bull began their €70m reconstruction of the track and in September 2010 it was confirmed that the circuit was now known as the Red Bull Ring.
