I agree with Laguna 

Great area, and great track. I think it just needs to be longer.

The climax of the Roadshow on Sunday saw Nelson Piquet demonstrate the R28 at Ski Dubai, an indoor ski slope. Fitted with specially-adapted Bridgestone studded snow tyres, Piquet completed a series of donuts in the snow at the bottom of the slope. It took the Bridgestone engineers 16 hours to manually insert all 2,016 studs, but the end result was well worth the effort.

So in its present form it cannot be a f1 circuit.I agree, the new generation F1 cars would be running close to one minute around the track. If Bourdais did a 1:05 in a DP01, just imagine what a new F1 car will do.
