what is a flag to flag race

A flag-to-flag race is a type of race in MotoGP that is enforced during changeable weather conditions mid-race. The flag-to-flag regulation was put into practice to avoid the arbitrariness of stopping or continuing races in the rain. During a flag-to-flag race, the riders start the race on dry tires, but if the weather changes and it starts to rain, they must come into the pits to change to wet tires. The flag-to-flag procedure is designed to ensure that wet races start on time, run to their allocated slot, and dont crowd the all-important schedules of the race. The term "flag-to-flag" signifies that the race is taking place during changing weather conditions. It is important to note that flag-to-flag races are specific to MotoGP and do not apply to other types of racing.
