Each motorcycle Grand Prix is contested by 22 riders, representing 11 teams and 5 different manufacturers. The events begin with qualifying races, which determine the starting order for the competitive race. The rider who performs best in qualifying starts in pole position, while the rider who performs worst must start furthest from the line. Once the race begins, the riders do not stop for fuel, new tyres, or any other kind of break.
The winner of the Grand Prix race receives a trophy and 25 championship points, while those who finish second and third receive 20 and 16 points respectively. Points are awarded down to the rider who finishes in 15th position, who receives 1 point. At the end of the season, the rider with the most points wins the World Riders' Championship, while the team with the most points between its 2 riders wins the World Constructors' Championship.
Food and drink stands are located all around the circuit, with plenty of fast food options close to most grandstands. Some of the best food is typically found in the Fan Zone area, and you can expect tasty versions of classic Austrian fare like schnitzel burgers and bratwurst. Beer is available to purchase throughout the venue.
Fans are welcome to bring their own cold food into the circuit, and drinks are also permitted as long as they are not held in glass containers.
There are 6 entry gates at Red Bull Ring, and fans can only enter and exit the circuit via these official gates.
Toilet facilities are located all around the circuit, including next to most of the grandstands.
Queues are likely to be longest just before the main race on Sunday, so try to avoid using the facilities at this time if you can.
