It means 'ambulance' here - unless it's a bike meeting, in which case it means 'red flag'.

Could it just have been a "translation problem"? In which case the IO's briefing should have included the demonstration of signals he/she uses in the heat of battle which may or may not be standard to the area in which he/she is working.

Signals are pretty well standardised across the UK. I believe you use a lot more in the US than we do - we just use 'ambulance' (rarely), 'rescue unit', 'doctor', 'straight tow' & 'suspended tow'.
