Black with Red Circle - The meat ball flag indicates there is a mechanical problem with your car... something hanging, a leak, etc. Drive your car to into the pit entrance as soon as possible or pull off the track near the next corner worker station (if there is a fire).

Black Flag - Drive your car into the pit entrance and be prepared to talk with an event official. |
Checkered Flag - The session is over... you should exit from the track at the next pit entrance |
