Need some help on flags.
I know what the green and black flags are but there are some
other colors I am not sure about. Please list color of flag and
its purpose... thanks
standing yellow - inccident off track
moving yellow - incident on track
blue - someone faster is behind you
red - race is stopped
red and yellow - slippery track (water, oil, ...)
white - very slow car ahead (even ambulance) in USA also means last lap
chequered flag - :)
maybe i forget some

Blue = There is a faster moving vehicle behind you. In Practice, this
will occur whenever there is a car close behind you. If you are not on
a hot lap, you should yield to this car. In a race, this will only be
shown if the car behind you is about to lap you. You should let the car
by. There is no penalty for ignoring this in the game, but it is
considered very bad manners to do so, particularly when racing online.
White = There is a very slow vehicle on the track ahead. This will come
out when a disabled car tries to limp back to the pits.

I've been watching some videotapes (of old films) from the period,
and they seem to have used the national flags for starting the race.
In GPL that is not the case. Does somebody know, why Papy was not
realistic in this (tiny!) matter? And perhaps somebody is making
a patch? ;)

They probably couldn't get a license to use the countries' flags
likenesses. I think they got the green flag just in the nick of time.
Sega wanted exclusive rights to the color.

How come they got the right to license the flag of Libya then? I
thought Gaddafi doesn't do deals with american sons of the satan?
