The basics of racing will not be effected by it - in other words, the racing line will still be predominantly outside-inside-outside. There'll be hardly any incentive to stick all the way to the right going into the Porsche Curves knowing that part of the track will be more dirty than the lefthand side (even more so on the tarmac right shoulder) and screwing up your line thru the first part of the curves - losing much more time in the process.
Will it make drivers trying to take more speed into the first right hander there? O, absolutely! It will also provoke a few more 'banzai moves' when the P1 factory armada is lapping the slower guys but that's more down to the extra competition than the slightly 'adjusted' track lay-out imo.
Only fear will be when things go wrong - the accident could be more severe because of the higher entry speed and higher risks the drivers inevitably are going to take.
