Road Racing Signal Flag: Yellow and Red

In road racing, the yellow and red signal flag is used to warn of reduced grip on the track. According to the official FIM regulations, this flag indicates that the track surface has changed—for example, due to the presence of oil, water, gravel, or other contaminants. Riders must exercise extra caution and adjust their riding to account for these changed conditions until they have passed the affected area.

The yellow and red signal flag is displayed by track marshals at the specific location where track grip has deteriorated. This signal is used during practice, qualifying, and races, allowing riders to reduce their speed, choose a safe racing line, and avoid unnecessary risks. The flag is a vital component of safety protocols in road racing and other forms of circuit racing.

The flag is made from 155g marine-grade polyester—a high-quality material developed specifically for professional use in motorsport. It features high tear resistance, excellent color fastness, and low water absorption, ensuring the flag remains highly visible even in demanding weather conditions. Its durable construction ensures a long service life, even with frequent use.

The yellow and red road racing flag is used by race officials at national and international events—such as MotoGP, WorldSBK, Supersport, JuniorGP, and other championships—where the competition regulations of the FIM or national federations apply. Its distinctive color combination makes the signal easy to identify, even at high speeds.
