The Singapore Grand Prix is an unusual event: it’s a night race; it’s a street race; it’s a new(ish) race that not only isn’t under threat, but is actively liked by drivers, teams, sponsors, journalists and fans alike.

But better than all of those: the walls around the track are painted a different colour in each sector.

It’s best seen in an on-board lap of the track – yesterday’s pole lap by Sebastian Vettel, for example.

Ignoring the pesky advertising hoardings, the walls start out blue, change to green for the middle sector, and turn yellow to complete the lap. It’s such a simple thing, and it’s not desperately obvious, but I appreciate the unnecessary effort.

So: circuits of the world, more colour coded track furniture, please!
