If a large-scale car fire like that ignites gasoline and fire extinguishing work is required by fire car, fire extinguishing is given priority and suspended by red flag. Rescue of the driver is given priority over continuing the race. If the driver cannot get off the car by himself due to an accident such as injury to the driver, or if the driver is unaware and rescue work is required, the session is suspended by red flag. If it is determined that the drivers cannot drive the car safely due to heavy rain, the session is suspended by red flag. Sudden changes in weather such as heavy rain Red flags could not be waved based on the judgment of each observation post. When the race director determines that it is necessary to suspend the session, red flag is waved at all observation posts.
This should be shown waved only on instruction from the Clerk of the Course when it becomes necessary to stop a practice session or the race in conformity with Article 2.5.4.1 b) above. (*) : Red flag line: a continuous, 20 cm wide line should be marked with non-skid paint, crossing the track from side to side, at right angles to the track centreline, at the point behind which all cars must stop if a race is stopped or suspended, where they can be conveniently attended to and formed into a starting grid from which the safety car will lead them off if the race is resumed. The red flag may also be used by the Clerk of the Course or his nominee to close the circuit (see Article 2.1.4). – the classification of the race or the order of the re-starting grid will be established from a point prior to the red flag being shown and according to the regulations of the competition Īll cars shall stop in order before the red flag line (*) until informed whether the race is to be resumed or ended and given the appropriate directions by marshals according to the regulations of the competition. Simultaneously, each marshal post around the circuit should also wave a red flag.ġ) during practice, all cars shall immediately reduce speed and proceed slowly back to their respective pits Ģ) during a race, all cars shall immediately reduce speed and proceed slowly to the red flag line ( (*) see the note at the end of point b)) ģ) overtaking is forbidden and drivers should remember that race and service vehicles may be on the track, the circuit may be totally blocked because of an accident and weather conditions may have made the circuit undriveable at racing speed Ĥ) if the race is stopped, drivers should remember that speeding is pointless because: This flag should be waved at the start line when it has been decided to stop a practice session or the race.
