7 Osterreichring (1970-1987)

Its fine Styrian scenery and gradient is familiar from the modern Red Bull Ring location, but its predecessor Osterreichring’s 3.7mile circuit layout was one of near-constant majesty, all fast, long and dazzling turns topped by the celebrated Bosch-Kurve. The track’s average speed rivalled old-school Silverstone.

It also had a habit of providing unusual grand prix winners: Vittorio Brambilla got his only win here in 1975, then Penske’s John Watson in 1976 and Shadow’s Alan Jones in 1977 took their teams’ only wins. Elio de Angelis claimed his first win – and Lotus’s last on Colin Chapman’s watch – in 1982.
