The 2014 Austrian Grand Prix was the eight race of the 2014 Superleague season and took place on the Red Bull Ring on the 5th June. The race was won, under controversial circumstances, by CSG Racing's Lewis Redshaw, completing for him a hat-trick of victories and his fourth in the season. However, Midnight Motorsport's Giuseppe Rainieri, who took pole and scored the fastest lap, crossed the line first; it was subsequently deemed, by the disciplinary committee, that Rainieri had forced Redshaw clean off the road at turn 3, while trying to defend the lead with about 11 laps to go. Rainieri's 5-second post-race penalty was enough to hand the victory to Redshaw, with the Italian demoted to second, ahead of Redshaw's team mate David Fidock. The outcome left Rainieri furious and a subsequent tirade ruined the relationship between him and the Midnight team, resulting in his departure from the team just days later.
