Alternatives are being considered, which include shortening the race to 14 laps.
They still may run the race at the full 27-lap distance but with the provision of a compulsory pitstop.
The other alternative is to run two separate races.
A decision has already been made to halve the Moto2 Grand Prix.
World championship leader Marc Marquez knows what format he would like.
"I would prefer one race with 14 laps," he said. "I think that is best option.
"But if not I would like flag to flag because there is no need to make two races."
Tyre blistering has been an issue for many of the riders, including Marquez who has come off twice already this weekend.
"It has been quite strange," Marquez said.
Opinion was divided over what the best format would be for the race.
Valentino Rossi summed it up when he said the riders would adjust to whatever decision is made.
"It's not our decision so we just have to see what the outcome is," he said. "This track is very particular with the surface.
"The tyres just become too hot."

Meanwhile, Casey Stoner was back at Phillip Island yesterday after being made an MotoGP Legend at just 28.
His retirement gave Marquez an opportunity at Honda and he said he was impressed with the rising star's debut year.
But he also urged the young gun keep his ego in check.
"I think Marc has done a fantastic job this year without a doubt," he said.
"We've seen him come up through the ranks get quicker and quicker, and grow a lot of maturity in a lot of ways.
"But I still think he could do things maybe off track a little bit nicer and be slightly more respectful with some of the things that have happened on track.
"Okay, they are racing incidents, but in his own words I think he could be slighly more respecful of what's happened and what's caused them."
Aussies Bryan Staring (21st) and Damian Cudlin (23rd) will start way back on the grid.
