The '''Salzburgring''' is a {{Convert|4.2|km|mi|2}} permanent race track in [[Austria]], east of [[Salzburg]].
==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]], [[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]] .
