The 2016 Red Bull Ring GP3 Series round was a GP3 Series motor race held on 2 and 3 July 2016 at the Red Bull Ring in Austria. It was the second round of the 2016 GP3 Series. The race weekend supported the 2016 Austrian Grand Prix.
Before the weekend commenced, Mahaveer Raghunathan announced that he would call time on his GP3 campaign to focus on his efforts in Auto GP.[1] In the weekend's only practice session, Giuliano Alesi withdrew from the weekend after an accident which saw him unfit to complete the rest of the weekend.[2]
It was a dominant session for the ART Grand Prix outfit with the top-three being Charles Leclerc, Alexander Albon and Nyck de Vries. Leclerc achieved a time of 1:19.071, half a second faster than his nearest competitor, Albon.
