A1-Ring is a circuit in Spielberg, Styria, Austria. It recently has changed its official name to the Red Bull Ring, reflecting the energy drinks purchase of the circuit.

The A1-Ring first featured on the Superleague calendar from 2002 to 2005. The Austrian circuit took a hiatus until returning in 2008 as a replacement venue. It would feature during the Masters Series in 2010 before a return to the pinnacle of GPVWC racing for the 2011 season.
