What should you do when you see a black flag with your car number displayed?

When you see a black flag with your car number displayed, it indicates that you must return to the pits. This flag is used to signal a specific driver that they need to come in due to a rule infraction, mechanical issue, or another specific reason requiring their attention, such as a potential danger to themselves or others. The process involves reporting to the clerk of course upon returning to the pits, who will provide further instructions related to your situation.

This is critical for maintaining safety and fair play within the race. Ignoring the flag or continuing to race could lead to further penalties or escalate a potentially hazardous situation. Being aware of and responsive to flags is an essential aspect of motorsport, playing a vital role in ensuring both driver and spectator safety.
