But in V8SC, the blue flag is only used as a warning flag, as directed by Tim Schenken in Race Control. It has kind of taken the place of the U/S flag in regards to overtaking.

(A word of warning, never EVER get a flaggie started on the bue flag rules in V8Sc )

Having raced in all sorts of categories for 30+ years and also being a flaggie I can assure you that the blue flag used to be used for position and was changed a couple of years ago to conform to FIA regs, same goes for the use of yellow flags and non use of double yellows anymore. (Even though double yellows are still mentioned in CAMS Manual)

Clerks of Courses prefer to go straight to red flag situation, but that causes other problems due to time delay in implementation.
