Singapore to use electronic flag displays

Indexed: Fri Apr 18, 2008 @ 04:18:23PM 7 months 5 days ago
As well as making history as Formula One racing's first-ever night race, the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix will also mark the introduction of electronic flag displays to the sport. The new technology, developed by lighting consultants Valerio Maioli S.p.A for the Singapore event, will be used in conjunction with the traditional flag signals waved by marshals. The innovative system, which meets the FIA's stringent requirements, is the result of more than a decade of development at the Barcelona, Imola and Monza racing circuits. Similar to units used to guide pilots at the runways of major airports, these 'DigiFlags' will convey the different flag colours in a more visible way during the night race.
