Organisers of the Bahrain Grand Prix have revealed that this year’s race, which will open the season on March 14, will take place on an extended layout.

The event will now use the 3.9 mile endurance circuit, which incorporates an extra six turns as well as the majority of the configuration used in recent years.

“The loop was completed in 2006 as part of the built-in evolution of the venue for competitors and fans,” said Alzayani. “We gave it its debut with the inaugural 24 Hour Race of Bahrain that same year where it proved extremely successful, and with the changes to the regulations, the teams and the driver line-ups in Formula One this year it is the perfect time to evolve the circuit with this new challenge and new overtaking opportunities.”

Check the new layout, I hope that this really helps overtaking.
