Open Lapping Flags

GREEN:
Signals the start of a session/race or the end of a caution (Yellow Flag) period. This signals a clear track.

YELLOW:
Signals a caution, which indicates that drivers should slow down to a significantly reduced speed. Debris on the track or a stopped vehicle are typically the reason for this flag.

If you see a green at one flagging station and a yellow at the next, it typically means that there is debris, a slow car or a spill somewhere from that point onwards.

RED:
Signifies the race/session must be stopped immediately, serious incident ahead. DO NOT slam on your brakes. Slow down safely to a stop, marshalls will instruct you on what to do next. Stay in your vehicle with your seatbelt and helmet on. This is usually for safety reasons and must be adhered to without fault.

BLACK:
The black flag will be held out then pointed at the driver in question. Reduce speed and return back to pit road where a marshall or CSCS will speak to you.
