Blue flags! Brawn suggested the ‘oval-like’ outer circuit at Bahrain, a 3.543km loop which encompasses the perimeter of the venue, could also be an option. Nice to have some variation even though this track has historically been racing-friendly, so even using the standard configuration wouldn’t be a bad thing, but still.Probably even lower lap times than ever.
This will have all of the drivers dealing with the frustration of finding an empty bit of track like they do in Monaco, but they will be doing more than double the average speed over the lap.I think it’s actually officially 11 corners, but so many will be flat out, like 3, 6, 9 & 11, it’s not really going to matter.I just hope they don’t add a DRS zone on the new longer straight towards the final corner as I think that will be overkill. Bahrain Grand Prix chiefs say they are ready to hold a Formula 1 race on their 'oval' outer circuit, despite being caught off guard when the idea first emerged last week. How Bahrain's Sakhir GP 'Outer Track' compares to Grand Prix Circuit layout With such a short track - the second shortest on the calendar after Monaco - the Sakhir GP will be an 87-lap race to ensure the 305 km official minimum distance is met – that’s …
At least they’re trying something different other than just changing tyre compounds. I thought that reactivating the Bridge layout of Silverstone would have been worth a shot for the 70A GP.Good news, and an even lower lap time than at Red Bull Ring, although whether this layout can rival Monza on the highest lap average speed is another matter.

FORMULA ONE have released details of a second race in Bahrain where records will be smashed - all under the night sky. Formula 1 is set to record its fastest-ever lap time durations after it was confirmed Bahrain's short and super-quick 'Outer' track will be used for the second leg of the venue's double-header in December.Three days after it was announced that Bahrain would become the third venue this year to stage two races as part of the concluding rounds of a 17-race 2020 season, F1 has announced that the Sakhir circuit's 'Outer' layout will be used for the first time for its second event on December 4-6.This circuit features just 11 corners and simulations suggest it will result in lap times of below 55 seconds in qualifying and under 60s in the race.The standard Bahrain GP circuit, which will be used as normal for the venue's first race the week before, runs to 15 corners and last year produced a pole lap of 1:27.866.The only previous sub-60s pole lap in F1 history (58.79s) was achieved by Ferrari's Niki Lauda in the 1974 French GP at Dijon.The second Sakhir event will also be a full night race, with the sessions to run later than the Bahrain GP the previous week - when qualifying and the race begin at 6pm local time under floodlights.We're super excited to reveal that the Formula 1 Rolex Sakhir Grand Prix will take place on the Outer Track for the very first time!
"(We) concluded the outer circuit will provide the best alternative and will provide a new challenge for all the teams and entertain all our fans with high speeds and fast lap times.”F1 confirms ‘outer circuit’ to be used for second Bahrain Grand Prix

Bahrain is one of the two circuits on the calendar that you can actually stage two (or more) GPs and change the parameters so as not to be the same, the standard circuit at night with standard tyre wear and typical set up and the outer circuit on day with different tyre …
The construction of the Bahrain circuit was a national objective for Bahrain, initiated by the Crown Prince, Shaikh Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa. At least we’ll find out and not watch two identical races week after week.
