The Osterreichring was the old circuit from around the 70's.
The A1 version was opened for F1 in 1997 and is the same track just
re-developed and laid out into a more modern track.

It's excalty the same with A1, the OLD osterreichring went for 7 or 8 km,
then was shrunk to about 5 for the "modern" (late 60's) F1, then was
abandoned in 83 or 85 I think after they had to make 3 starts in a F1 race,
the start and finish straight was so narrow that it was worse than STe
dvote in Monaco or the start in PAU.
visit the official site at www.a1.com, they have plenty of info.
Besides that the track of today in VERY nice, and the organization there is
just PERFECT.
By 1987 Silverstone had been slowed down quite a bit so I would hazard a
guess that Osterreichring was the fastest circuit that season.

Fastest ever was Rosberg at Silverstone '85 I think. Somewhere around
160mph.
