The voestalpine wingThe Gateway to the Red Bull Ring

Inspired

The architecture of the voestalpine wing is based on the rear wing of a racing car. Similar to its inspiration model, immense forces act on the structure, for example a wind load of 56 t. A total of around 900 t of steel has been integrated in the building.

Media Center

The voestalpine wing also serves as a media center for Formula 1 racing, providing room for500 media representatives. The race is broad-cast to 185 countries throughout the world.

Power pack

The rear wing of a racing car is an important element of the aerodynamic system: it presses the vehicle down onto the road at the back with 1.6 t. This enables shorter braking distances and much higher speeds in curves. The driver is subjected to an acceleration force of up to 6 G in the curves, almost twice as much as for an astronaut when a space shuttle is launched!

The voestalpine wing combines state of the art architecture and the fascination of motor racing. Positioned directly alongside the start and home straight, this building is the central point of contact for all activities at the Red Bull Ring.
