Chapter 15: Race control

Caution, red flag and the clock

Throw a caution or red flag to hold the clock, go back to green, and add or take off a minute while a heat runs.

VideoComing soon. The written guide below has every step.

We are recording this one now. It will play right here when it is ready.

Things happen on track. Caution and Red Flag hold the clock while the track is cleared, and Clear to Green restarts it. You can also add or take off a minute.

Before you start

  • A heat running.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Start a heat

    Stop Session, + 1m, − 1m, Caution and Red Flag.

  2. 2

    Caution

    A CAUTION banner shows across the screen, with Clear to Green.

  3. 3

    Clear to Green

    Timing never stopped. Laps during the caution still count.

  4. 4

    Red Flag

    Use it for a crash that blocks the track, or a timing problem.

  5. 5

    Add a minute

    Minus one minute takes time off.

Tips

  • There is no Pause button. Caution and Red Flag hold the time instead; the Remaining tile shows Held.
  • There is no Abort. Stop Session, then Reset, discards a heat that should not count.
  • + 1m and − 1m change the remaining time on the fly.

Troubleshooting

The clock kept running under caution.
Check the banner says CAUTION. If not, the flag did not go out; press Caution again.
