{"product_id":"fl0030h","title":"Heavy Duty Chequered Flag (Large) 5'x3' by OUTBOUND","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe OUTBOUND Heavy Duty Chequered Flag is a large-format black and white racing flag traditionally associated with the finish of motor races. Measuring 150 cm x 90 cm, its distinctive alternating chequered pattern makes it immediately recognisable at motorsport events, race circuits, automotive displays, workshops, clubs and racing-themed collections.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chequered flag has become one of the most recognisable symbols in motorsport, although its precise origins remain uncertain. Various theories have connected the pattern with horse racing, cycling and early motor racing, but there is no definitive evidence establishing a single origin. One of the earliest documented uses is associated with early 20th-century motorsport, with a 1906 photograph from the Vanderbilt Cup showing a chequered flag being used at the finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flag subsequently became firmly established as a finishing signal in motor racing. Historical racing records show chequered flags being used to signal the completion of a competitor's required distance, while the black and white pattern provided a highly visible signal that could be recognised by drivers and spectators. The symbolism has remained remarkably consistent as motorsport has developed from early road and track races into modern international competition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, the black and white chequered flag continues to be used at the finish of motor races. Motorsport Australia's current flag-signalling regulations specify that the black and white chequered flag is waved at the finish line to signify the end of a practice session or race.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditional black and white chequered racing flag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecognisable symbol of motor racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraditionally used to signal the finish of a race\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarge 5' x 3' format\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasures 150 cm x 90 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade from 100D polyester\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for motorsport events and racing displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for workshops, garages and automotive-themed areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful for racing collections and historical displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eBrand: OUTBOUND\u003cbr\u003eProduct Code: FL0030H\u003cbr\u003eGTIN: 9357994011484\u003cbr\u003eFlag: Chequered Flag\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: 100D Polyester\u003cbr\u003eSize: 5' x 3'\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 150 cm x 90 cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe OUTBOUND Heavy Duty Chequered Flag combines a classic motorsport design with a large display format.
