The Bordello
Used to go to the Österreichring as a member of a couple of F1 teams in the 80's. The closest place for hotel lodging used to be down the road quite some distance away, however a couple of the well know F1 drivers found a place which was a Swiss/Austrian Alpine lodging which you could see from the circuit down below. It was up a little cart track, but when you went in side there was a nice bar and restaurant. There were also lots of bedrooms and a sauna with loft bedrooms down at the bottom of the garden. Well in fact this was a brothel but they cleared all the girls out, except a couple who waitress-ed and served in the bar. We did not realize except we figured something was not quite right, but the team and the team owner had stayed there fr years without knowing. The older lady that ran it was very nice and her son and his wife, who was a prominent lawyer in Vienna would help come and run it. The race weekend was more lucrative to have the team (24 personel) stay there, than the brothel. We didn,t mind as it was only 10 minutes from the circuit and the other tams had at least a 45 min drive. Some day I will have to tell everyone about "Slavy" a beutiful dark haired waitress ! Hope this helps...
