*** FLAGS AND THEIR MEANINGS ***

GREEN FLAG- ( GO ) A green flag signals that a race has started

YELLOW FLAG- (CAUTION) ( SLOW DOWN) caution or warning. This can happen if there has been an accident or a go-kart has collided with a barrier and is blocking the path. Pass the track hazard with great caution. REDUCE SPEED ***

RED FLAG – ( STOP) When you see a red flag, you must bring your go-kart to an immediate and controlled stop

BLUE & ORANGE/YELLOW FLAG- ( PASSING) This flag is always issued to a particular driver and signals him or her to allow the driver behind to pass safely. If you see this flag, it means that you are being overtaken by a faster driver and you must give way. The best thing to do in this scenario is to move out of the racing line, so that the go-kart behind you can safely overtake you and to avoid any accidents.

BLACK FLAG – ( INFRACTION ) A black flag is also directed at a particular driver and indicates a safety infraction. This could be due to reckless or unsafe driving. Or driver must pull off the track , driver has been disqualified from the race.

WHITE FLAG- ( LAST LAP) signal that this is the last and final lap of the race.

CHECKARD FLAG- ( RACE IS OVER ) When you see this flag, you’re on your home stretch towards the finish line. Once you’ve passed the finished line, you have officially completed the race!
