The 2026 MotoGP weekend at Austria’s Red Bull Ring is shaping up to be a showcase of unparalleled access for enthusiasts. From Saturday through Sunday, the event centre hosts a VIP Village right on the infield, offering covered hospitality, private terraces, and a dedicated lounge where fans can savour top-tier cuisine while watching the race unfold from prime locations.
What the MotoGP VIP Village delivers
Inside the VIP Village guests enjoy a covered hospitality area that blends comfort with the thrill of proximity to the track. A private, uncovered terrace with an open bar looks out over the Main Straight, giving an unobstructed view of the start-finish line. For those who prefer a seated perspective, a private grandstand adjacent to the Village is also available. The venue’s MotoGP Lounge serves a buffet of breakfast and lunch dishes crafted by leading chefs, complemented by a constant supply of cocktails, prosecco, wine, beer and soft drinks from an all-day open bar. All visitors also gain entry to the Village’s activations and entertainment programmes.
Exclusive on-track experiences
Beyond the lounge, the programme includes several behind-the-scenes activities. On Saturday, a Rider Q&A session takes place in the MotoGP Lounge, where a current rider shares personal insights and answers fan questions about life at the sport’s pinnacle. The same day, a one-day Guided Paddock Tour grants participants a backstage glimpse of the pit lane, team garages and the logistical hub that powers each race weekend. Guests may also sign up for a Service Road Tour a parallel route that runs alongside the circuit, offering a unique, high-speed perspective of the riders as they launch onto the track. Registration is first-come-first-served at the designated desk on arrival.
Saturday and Sunday also feature a Pit Lane Walk that lets fans stroll the historic MotoGP pit lane and observe the hustle inside the team boxes. For collectors, access to the authentic MotoGP World Champions Trophy is included, allowing a close encounter with the sport’s most coveted prize. All activities are subject to local health and safety guidelines.
Public Pit Lane Walk at the Red Bull Ring
On Thursday, 17 September 2026, the circuit opens its pit lane to the public for a limited-time walk. Entrance begins at 02:30 p.m. from the start-finish grandstand (sectors K-A), with the actual walk taking place between 04:20 p.m. and 05:40 p.m. Only holders of a weekend ticket may participate, and spots are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Attendees are called sector by sector, so punctuality and attention to announcements are essential. Drinks can be purchased at the grandstand kiosks, while smoking is prohibited throughout the pit lane.
The public walkthrough is famed for its electrifying atmosphere; spontaneous appearances by MotoGP stars are not uncommon, and fans often seize the moment for selfies with their favourite riders. The experience also serves as a preview of the broader weekend programme, encouraging undecided spectators to secure a full-weekend ticket.
MopedGP von Österreich adds extra excitement
Adding a grassroots flavour to the Thursday schedule, the MopedGP von Österreich returns for its third edition. Hundreds of owners of road-legal mopeds up to 50 cc are invited to race a few laps around the Red Bull Ring. Participants must hold a valid MotoGP ticket, a driver’s licence, and a compliant moped. The event injects additional energy into the venue and offers a unique opportunity for amateur riders to share the circuit with the world’s elite.
