Are there any flags apart from yellow and green and, of course, the
checkered flag?

I have the US version of GP2.  I ask because when editing***pits I see
the black flag but have never received one (no how many cars I shunt!) and
have never seen a blue flag either, when passing or being passed.

I know that there is a bunch of stuff that never made it into the final
release of the game (ie.***pit voice messages about oil on the track,
etc, etc.).  Is this the case with the flags?

Thanks.

About the black flag: Go to for example to Hockenheim drive out of the
pits don't take the chicane but keep driving like you did. You will go
through the sand. If you do this with much speed. You will get the black
flag (you will have to slow down for 10/15 seconds.

About the blue flags I haven't seen them either.
Anybody else??

Hi,

You receive a black flag if you cut corners too much. Blue flags are in
there kind of, but they are only shown on the slowing down lap after a
race, not for the real reason. Still, I don't think this is because GP2
is 'unfinished', as F1GP did the same.
Having listened to the infamous pit radio sounds, red flags were
supposed to be included, as it says 'session stopped' and 'race
restart'.

There is a black flag handling.
It happens when you cut the chicanes.
Then a black flag appears on the top left of the screen an the car speed is
limited to 80 km/h during 30 seconds.

Jeeze, either your PC is running slloooow or I've got no sense of time.
It's about 10-12 seconds surely? - I havn't timed it!

the real races..
