Following the huge success of the 2010 Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix as the inaugural round for the Formula One World Championship’s 60th anniversary season, Bahrain International Circuit has returned in 2011, albeit with a reversion back to its original track layout in preparation for next year’s season. The use of an extended 'endurance track' was part of the celebrations which marked the diamond jubilee of the oldest and most prestigious racing series. It provided a unique opportunity to see the participating teams and drivers of the 24 strong grid navigate several new challenges and turns, marking the 7th Formula One Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix as one of the most spectacular races yet seen at the Sakhir track. The 2011 Formula One 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. The addition of the FIA approved 'endurance track' to Bahrain International Circuit increases the number of Formula 1 tracks eligible for use during the Bahrain leg of the Formula One World Championship to three, making the Home of Motorsport in the Middle East one of the most diverse and unique circuits the world over. In keeping with its status as an FIA Centre of Excellence all three tracks have been approved by the FIA and have been recognised as Grade 1 standard.
