Yellow Flags

It's actually back to the the last lap completed by the leaders - then back another one. This is because the leader may have just crossed the line and the rest of the field would be shown to be on a different lap. This means the race can be counted back nearly two laps.

I therefore don't have much issue with overtaking under reds - more so banging on the brakes for no apparant reason (when I first started racing a red went out at Mallory Esses and the guy I was slipstreaming banged on the brakes to turn into the paddock - the incident was at Gerards - with my inexperience at dealing with CoCs, I got the blame for hitting him up the rear and the endorsement :E )

If you do feel aggreved about yellow flags, DO go (and calmly) see the CoC - often they can't/won't do anything, but
a) it makes you feel better
b) let's the CoC know that everything wasn't perfect out there
