History
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 (from
1971 to
1994 except for
1980 and
1992),
Superside 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 "
Rupert Hollaus Memorial" organized by Ex-GP motorcycle and sidecar rider
Wolfgang Stropek .
