Alternatively, some race tracks employ lights to supplement the primary flag at the start/finish line. Track marshals are also stationed at observation posts along the race track in order to communicate both local and course-wide conditions to drivers. Typically, the starter, sometimes the grand marshal of a race, waves the flags on top of a flag stand near the start/finish line. You can find enclosures, retailers data, installation, setup and mounting instructions in the forum thread here.Racing flags are traditionally used in auto racing and similar motorsports to indicate track condition and to communicate important messages to drivers. Thanks to Petr Vostrel for this gift to the iRacing community. Run iFlag.exe and connect the USB hardware. It is useful to make a shortcut in Startup items to have iFlag ready as soon as you start the computer.

NET Framework 4 – get it for free from Microsoft. Namely have this installed on your computer: This means that you need to provide certain prerequisities yourself. So far iFlag doesn’t come with any installer, it is only an EXE you run. It continuously listens for iRacing session and other signals, processes them and issues commands telling the device exactly what to display on the LED matrix. IFlag software translates provides the interconnection of iRacing and the matrix. Matrix LED and shield are always in stock from Itead webshop.


“Open source race marshalling light board for simulation. Petr Vostrel created a very handy marshaling software using Arduino and LED matrix to help to identify visually some situations in iRacing. Who doesn’t like blinking and colorful lights? What is iFLAG? I love open source and DIY projects and and this is an extremely lovely one.
