Road racing – Black and white

Road racing signal flag – black and white

The diagonally divided black and white signal flag is used in road racing to issue an official warning to a specific rider. According to the official FIM regulations, the flag is displayed alongside the rider’s race number when race control wishes to alert the rider to unsportsmanlike conduct or other rule violations. The flag serves as a formal warning, indicating that continued rule-breaking may lead to disciplinary action or disqualification.

The black and white signal flag is used during practice, qualifying, and races to clearly communicate decisions made by race control to the rider in question. Since the flag applies only to the rider or driver whose race number is displayed, it serves as an essential tool for maintaining safety, sportsmanship, and fair competition in road racing and other forms of circuit racing.

The flag is crafted from 155 g marine-grade polyester—a durable material developed specifically for professional use in motorsport. It features high tear resistance, excellent color fastness, and low water absorption. The diagonal black-and-white design provides high contrast, ensuring the signal is easily discernible even at very high speeds.

The diagonally divided black-and-white 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.
