Doug,

Isn’t that confusing to have different rules for club and pro level?

With FIA red flag during a race means stop racing, driving slow without overtaking and collecting at the finish line and wait for further instructions.

A red flag during a quail session means the same but driving to the pitlane and waiting for instructions.

A black white flag for warning a driver, show with car number.

And black flag disqualification.

These flag rules count for all levels of racing world far with FIA.

At RA I learned that there are differences with flags.

Yellow flag

FIA: do not overtake from the point on where the flag is shown

USA: do not overtake as soon you can see the yellow flag 

Green flag:

FIA: is shown at start and after a yellow flag to allow overtaking, as far I understand, in USA after passing the danger zone you can overtake

USA: only shown at the start, 

Not easy for me to get used to the different way of showing the same flags.

Cheers

Chris

Chris,

In the States, at the club racing level, the black flag is used to stop a race where it is safe to continue at a reduced speed. Officially, it means stop racing, continue to the pits at a reduced speed. The red flag means to come to a safe and controlled stop and wait for instructions from the flag marshals before continuing. It usually is used when there is either track blockage or a severe on-track incident requiring emergency vehicles.

At the 'professional' level, the red flag is used to stop a session (usually practice or qualifying) when safety vehicles are sent out on track.

The black flag is used at all levels to signal the driver to they have committed some kind of offense. Furled (closed) for a minor warning and open for a major one. In these cases it is shown with a number board and at start and a black station. 

Cheers,

Doug

Very cool race Tony.
Some very great moves to get in front.

What I don't understand.
To stop a session in USA they use a black flag?
In Europe they use a red flag to stop a race caused by an accident or
similar things. Shown on all corners.

A black flack with the car number is used to expel a driver from the race,
disqualification.
Shown only on the finish line.

Seems there are different flags use in our countries.

Very confusing for me, if I ever come back racing with you.
I would have been go on racing because of the black flag with not my car
number shown. :-)

Cheers
Chris

Here's my in-car video from the Kas Cup race at Summit Point last weekend.
There are several more races coming (like 3 or 4 of them) but this seemed
like the one I should put together first.
