All drivers will grid from the P3 position (ie P1 will start on P3 of the straight, P2 will start in P4 etc). This is so the Bambino drivers at the front of the gris can see the E-Flag clearly. 4.2.1 - ONE parent/mechanic is allowed onto the straight once the drivers have been sent out for their formation lap. When drivers have got into position parent/mechanic MUST turn off their drivers engines. 4.3 - When RESTART ENGINES is shown on the E-Flag, then parent/mechanic must restart their drivers engines and leave the track immediately. The RESTART ENGINES will show briefly, followed by TWO red lights. 4.4 When ALL parents/mechanics are completely off of the track then lights will turn from two red lights, to two green lights indicating the start of the race. IT IS CRUCIAL THAT ALL PARENTS/MECHANICS ENSURE YOUR CHILDREN KNOW THIS PROCEDURE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE MAKE SURE THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS EXPECTED OF THEM. IT IS AS IMPORTANT THAT ALL PARENTS/MECHANICS CLEAR THE TRACK AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. THE RACE WILL NOT START UNTIL YOU ARE OFF OF THE TRACK (this means no loitering in the dummy grid!)
FLAGS GREEN FLAG - Used to signal the start of the race after all drivers are in their grid positions YELLOW FLAG (Stationary) Slow down, no overtaking until you are past the incident the flag is being waved for. (Waved) Great danger, Slow down considerably. No overtaking, BLUE FLAG You are about to be lapped. Ensure you move out of the way in a safe manner. RED FLAG Drivers must come to a complete stop as soon as is safely possible. Drivers should avoid extremely harsh braking as it could cause an accident with drivers directly behind them. Once stopped, drivers are to remain in their karts and await further instruction from a marshal. SLIPPERY SURFACE FLAG - There is a slippery surface ahead such as oil or water that has been brought on to the track, this flag will not normally be used if it starts to rain during the session as the rain obviously makes the entire circuit slippery. CHEQUERED FLAG End of heat, drivers must slow down, complete the lap they are on and leave the track via the pit entrance. (Just after Pylon 1). WARNING FLAG A warning, to the driver that their behaviour is suspect and that they may be black-flagged on further reports. Accompanied with a number board.
