When you come for a track day, you will likely only see two flags at Sepang- the Red and the Yellow. The yellow one is to indicate to you that there has been an incident ahead- slow down and NO OVERTAKING.

The Red flag indicates that the session has ended for any reason- proceed back to the pits slowly. If the red flag is shown before a session is scheduled to end then it is likely that there has been a large incident and the marshals have halted the session until they can clear the track.

For Race Days, all of the other flags will be in use. The Green Flag signifies that all is clear- proceed at your own pace.

The Blue flag indicates that you are about to be lapped- allow the faster riders to pass. Do not attempt to hold up the faster riders or you may be penalized. Simply move slightly off the racing line and proceed at your own pace and don't make any sudden or unexpected maneouvres.

Beware of the Yellow flag with the red stripes as it normally indicates an oil spill. Ignore this at your peril.

The Black flag with your number held up next to it signifies that you have made a technical infringement requiring you to proceed back to the pits or more likely may have a problem with the bike which you may not be aware of (like smoking exhausts). Proceed back to the pits immediately.

Everyone knows what the checkered flag means and if you are the first one to reach it, Congratulations!
