Question 1

Save your Magic Link carefully

Question 2

Have your ticket ready when boarding

Accepted Answer

Your e-ticket must be shown when boarding the shuttle bus and will be scanned by the driver or boarding staff.

Photograph your bus number & save its location

Accepted Answer

After arriving at the Red Bull Ring, be sure to photograph your bus and the bus number (sign at the front of the vehicle). Also save your bus location on your smartphone (e.g. via Google Maps or Apple Maps).
Since your return journey is on the same bus and boarding generally takes place at the same location where you were dropped off, this makes it much easier to find your bus again after the event ends.

Question 4

Arrive on time for your return journey

Out of consideration for other passengers, drivers cannot wait for late travellers. Please arrive at your bus in good time.
If you miss your return journey, there is no entitlement to alternative transport or a refund of the ticket price.

What happens in case of congestion or delays?

Major motorsport events are among the largest sporting events in Austria. Around the Red Bull Ring, increased traffic, congestion, road closures, accidents, weather events and official measures are to be expected.
