Formula 1's Bahrain Grand Prix is being hosted in Malaysia, and Bahraini organisers flew in furniture and even a falconer to recreate a familiar atmosphere at the Sepang venue.

Why now: The unusual spectacle of shipping furniture and a falconer abroad, combined with fan frustration over queues, is drawing attention to the unconventional hosting arrangement.
