Bahrain To Revert To Previous Layout For 2011

This year for 2010 season, Bahrain was extended from the usual 5.4 km lap to 6.3 km and for the next season the Bahrain Sakhir circuit will revert to previous layout.

This season the track celebrated the ‘diamond jubilee’ for Formula 1 by using the extended track of eight corners which were completed in 2006.

But the race organizers has announced that the Formula 1 fans will see the Bahrain Sakhir track reverted to the 2004 original layout for the 2011 season.

The use of the extended ‘endurance track’ was part of the celebrations which marked the diamond jubilee of the oldest and most prestigious racing series, iIt provided a unique opportunity to see the participating teams and drivers of the 24 strong grid navigate several new challenges and turns.

The 2011 Formula 1™Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will therefore feature the original track layout, which has been used since Bahrain International Circuit’s inaugural race in 2004 when the circuit was awarded the prestigious Best Organised Grand Prix Trophy.
