Yellow Flag: (from wiki)
Quote :The solid yellow flag, or caution flag, universally requires drivers to slow down due to a hazard on the track

i.e. There is a crash ahead / slow car(s) on track / car stopped on track. You should approach with caution. Usually you are not supposed to overtake others when the yellow flag is shown; you might get penalized - but this rule is not enforced in public racing servers.


Blue Flag: (from LFS Manual)
Quote :It is a fundamental rule of motorsport and sim racing that when a driver receives a blue flag, this is to let the driver know that a faster car is about to overtake and put that driver a lap down.

i.e. A car is coming up to lap you - you should not block him. The servers usually have their variation for what you should do under a blue flag. Most of the time, you should hold your line whist the faster car should overtake you in a safe manner.

There are a couple of cars in LFS S1/S2 with turbo charged engines. The 3 demo cars do not have turbo.

You can get car setup tips from the LFS Manual. Basic Setup Guide and Advanced Setup Guide.

Have a look through the whole LFS Manual. You'll learn lot of new stuff!
