While there is no universal system of racing flags across all of motorsports, most series have standardized them, with some flags carrying over between series.

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 atop a flag stand near the start/finish line. Toyoda San, by officially presenting this Hydrogen project today, you have left your mark on the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.Racing flags are traditionally used in auto racing and similar motorsports to indicate track conditions and to communicate important messages to drivers. I would like to salute this challenge from Toyota, the vision of these men and women. Once again, Endurance demonstrates its commitment to sustainable mobility, in line with automotive players. This day is a new crucial step for the creation of the Hydrogen category of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Since 2018, the ACO, with MissionH24 and GreenGT, has been promoting hydrogen, a safe and efficient energy carrier. Today, mobility is undergoing a revolution, that of the energy transition and the 24 hours of Le Mans participate in the search for sustainable technologies. 100 years ago, the ACO created the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a real technological laboratory for a car in full development. This Jwill be a milestone in the history of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship: a manufacturer, and which manufacturer, the n゚1 in the world, has just presented its Hydrogen Endurance project.
