About The Checkered Flag

When the green flag drops, forty-odd machines thunder into turn one and the whole grandstand holds its breath. Strategy unfolds in the pits, four tires swapped and a full tank of fuel in under fifteen seconds, while drivers feel every groove and ripple of the banking through their seat. Crossing under the checkered flag first is one of motorsport's most electric moments, a surge of noise and color that has drawn fans to oval tracks and road courses for more than a century.
