Red Bull Ring names grandstand after Toprak Razgatlioglu for Austrian MotoGP

The Red Bull Ring has unveiled a dedicated fan grandstand named after MotoGP rookie and three-time WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix, scheduled for 18-20 September 2026.

Grandstand T10, located at the final corner of the Spielberg circuit, will officially be known as "T10 Toprak Razgatlioglu" for the event. The section overlooks one of the most dramatic corners on the calendar — where Miguel Oliveira secured KTM's maiden home win in 2020 and Andrea Dovizioso famously overtook Marc Marquez on the final metres in 2018. For race weekend, the area will be transformed into a Turkish-themed fan experience.

Fans purchasing a ticket for the dedicated grandstand by 7 September will be entered into a draw for a Meet & Greet session with the Yamaha rider. Beyond the on-track action, the area behind the grandstand will offer Turkish cuisine, exclusive Razgatlioglu-branded merchandise, and other give-aways. Children's tickets for the "Toprak T10" section start at just €20.

The initiative is being promoted through social media videos featuring Razgatlioglu performing his signature stoppies, filmed during the "Go with your Pro" event at the Red Bull Ring in May, where the Turkish star rode a Yamaha R1 prepared by YART.

Razgatlioglu, who moved from the Superbike World Championship to MotoGP in 2025 with the Yamaha factory team, has quickly become one of the most popular figures in the paddock. His aggressive riding style and charismatic personality have earned him a global following that extends far beyond his native Turkey.

The Austrian Grand Prix marks the 13th round of the 2026 MotoGP season, taking place unusually late compared with the circuit's traditional mid-August slot. The championship enters the race following the summer break, with the British Grand Prix at Silverstone (7-9 August) as the immediate precursor.
