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]], [[Deutsche Tourenwagen Challenge|DTC]], [[Super Tourenwagen Cup|STW]], but several [[Grand Prix motorcycle racing]], [[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]] . ==Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing== Some results: * [[1975 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1975]] 500cc [[Hideo Kanaya]] [[Yamaha Motor Company|Yamaha]] * [[1978 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1978]] 500cc [[Kenny Roberts]] Yamaha * [[1983 Grand Prix motorcycle racing season|1983]] 500cc [[Kenny Roberts]] Yamaha ==Links== *[http://www.salzburgring.com/de/index.php Salzburgring] *[http://www.reisemosaik.at/Oldtimer/Krackowizer_Salzburgring_en.htm The Oldtimer Grand Prix] *[http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=47.821771,13.165054&spn=0.013687,0.040169&t=h&z=15 Salzburgring in Google Maps] {{CoorHeader|47|49|16|N|013|09|34|E|type:landmark}} {{SBK circuits}} {{MotoGP circuits}} [[Category:World Superbike racing circuits]] [[Category:Grand Prix motorcycle racing circuits]] [[Category:Motorsport venues in Austria]] [[Category:Salzburg (state)]] [[de:Salzburgring]] [[it:Salzburgring]] [[ja:ザルツブルクリンク]] [[ru:Зальцбургринг]]
