RED BULL RING CLASSICS BRINGS MOTORSPORT HISTORY TO LIFE

This year, the BMW 325 Challenge at Spielberg is celebrating its 20th anniversary. One of the most traditional one-make racing series in touring car racing features the legendary BMW 325i (E30). Close battles, spectacular engine sounds, and a level playing field define the starting grid.

 In the BOSS GP (Big Open Single Seater), drivers rev up the engines of valuable, rare cars with several thousand PS. Formula 1, GP2, World Series V8, and other single-seaters—among the fastest ever built, often produced for only a few races—come together to form a unique, full-throttle lineup. The series features five classes.

Goosebumps guaranteed: The CLASS ONE Revival brings around 20 handpicked DTM legends back to Spielberg! Fans will experience the evolution of motorsports: from the wild early days of the touring car championship to the technological perfection of the Class 1 race cars through 2020. In addition to icons from Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, the legendary Ford Mustang is also ready to hit the track. 

 In the Dutch Colmore Youngtimer Touring Car Challenge—Colmore YTCC for short—competition is fierce yet fair across three divisions. The series brings back the  glory of legendary touring cars, sports cars, prototypes, and Le Mans cars built before 1990.  Well-known names such as Pontiac Trans Am, Corvette, Sunbeam Lotus, BMW, and Porsche  are represented.

Formula Vau will celebrate a major anniversary at the 2026 Red Bull Ring Classics. Sixty years ago, with the first races in Austria, it evolved into a true training ground for domestic motorsports. By stripping everything down to the essentials, success was determined by talent, courage, and technical understanding—not by budget. It helped forge great personalities such as Niki Lauda, Dr. Helmut Marko, and Dieter Quester.

Spanning four divisions, the Golden Era Classic Cup at the Red Bull Ring celebrates the history of the Porsche Cup series from 1986 to 2009. The event comprehensively showcases the technical evolution of the Zuffenhausen-based brand—from its air-cooled roots to the water-cooled powerhouses of the recent past.

The Historic Formula Challenge features historic sports cars and formula cars, divided into five divisions. The lineup includes cars from the legendary Formula Vau, Formula Ford, and Formula 3 series, as well as sports cars from the Sports 2000 class. 

The Interwetten SportsCar Challenge (ISCC) is the stage for sports prototypes and historic race cars. This series brings together 25 cars and their drivers—including three women—professional teams, and passionate car owners. The new cup format takes the excitement to a whole new level. The series’ grand season finale will take place at the Red Bull Ring Classics. Among those taking the starting grid is Austrian motorsports professional Christian Klien.
