Zeltweg

Although Zeltweg held Austria’s first World Championship Grand Prix in 1964, the event proved unpopular and was not repeated there.

Although Zeltweg held Austria’s first World Championship Grand Prix in 1964, the event proved unpopular and was not repeated there. The course was a dull, bumpy temporary circuit on an army airfield, with a concrete surface that caused a high rate of attrition. Lorenzo Bandini survived to record his only victory. The Austrian GP switched to sports cars before the nearby Osterreichring was built to replace Zeltweg in 1969.
