The flag system has finally arrived!

Hopefully

Its all these little things, they give you a better and more realistic experience.

Has any game attempted flags in the past? I'd wager a few F1 games have and maybe one or two of the PC sims, but never played any games that have had flags like this...

V8 Supercars 3/TOCA Race Driver 3 had flags and were implemented extremely well too I might add. It had yellows for crashed/slow cars, blues for when faster cars were trying to lap you, blacks for penalties (Black/White for warnings), whites for last laps and I'm not sure if there were others, but either way they were obvious and worked when they should have.👍

Just a slight note - red/yellow striped flag literally means "slippery surface", it doesn't have to be oil. There's also a difference between a held yellow, a waved yellow and double waved yellows.
But I guess it says all that in wikipedia anyway.

I've seen the red/yellow flags used for general debris after crashes and what have you.

Black flag and the AI taking over the car for all online cheaters and assholes.

I wonder how hard it would be for them to implement that? Like the AI taking over anyone who has a black flag when they near the pits to force the drive-through penalty? Probably easier to do what they do in real life though, DQ the driver if they have any un-paid drive-throughs.

Then again how can you imagine Nascar without flags?

I actually can re-create the yellow flags whenever I want, as for the green flag is a bit harder, but it does happen once and a while.

ah that explains what happened to me the other day lol...

Totally awesome news! That means KY didn't lie when he said he tried to implement as many of the NASCAR rules as possible! I mean, the flags is probably the biggest factor in NASCAR, isn't it?

Kick ass, all they need now is a safety car and there is a safety car you can buy in the game so it's not impossible a future update could include a safety car on track
