Please, does anyone knows in which GP the green light replaced the national starting flag?
It seems to me Silverstone '75 but I'm not sure.
Thank you.

German GP, Nurburgring 1938/39?
It didn't work!
I've seen the newsreel. They started with the standby flag, so actually it wasn't the first, of course...

Sorry, my question is not complete. I'm talking about the F1 championship, after 1950.
I know the traffic light was used in Tripoli GP, before.

We have (briefly) kicked this around before. But no firm answer:

[old fart, sniggly mode on] The F1 championship began in 1981, so I assume that you mean the Championnat du Monde des Conducteurs which ran from 1950 to 1980? [old fart, sniggly mode off]

Yes, you assume right.

Did Indy use both a waved flag (green, not national) and a green light? Can't remember when a light system was first used there...

I hoped Michael would jump back in, so, Why Not Indianapolis?

It's a dare with a friend of mine: for me is Silverstone '75, for my friend Monza '76.
