Legend, history and uses of the black and white chequered flag in sport

Designed to be used as a sign in motor racing or motorcycling, the black and white checkered flag indicates the finish line of the car or motorcycle race (especially Formula 1) and thus the end of the race for all motorcyclists! It can also mean the end of a test or qualification session!

The black and white chequered flag must be waved when the winner approaches the finish line and the other riders on the track.

The story of the legend that tells the origin of the use of the chequered flag for car racing is quite funny! It dates back to the early 20th century in England. It is said that during an English motor race, the director and the race commissioner, who would have played a game of chess during the race, would have been surprised at the end by the arrival of the winning motorist on the finish line, and would have shaken the chess game board in the air! In alpine skiing, the black and white checkered flag indicates a risk of avalanche!
