I have started a race day tradition in my house. The night before (or early morning of) the race I decorate with a number of checker flags and banners. I also have a number of flags of the nations of our favorite racers.

I would like to add manufacturer and/or team banners or flags to this mix. Anyone know of a good website or catolog?

thnx

I can only suggest checking out the team and maybe rider sites as listed here:

though the ones I've checked hacen't been particularly helpful.

the team and rider websites are probably your best chance online I think

the best place would be at a GP where you would find both official flags and knockoffs outside the track

Try Amazon, they should have something, surely.

Why cant you show a little respect? :) Sure the idea is a tad strange but everyone is entitled to do what they want, when they want.. Whatever floats ya boat I say..

I have a 6-year-old daughter, and the race day festivities help get her excited about the race and that her fave Valentino Rossi is sitting on pole. She is still a little young to follow all the facts and riders. The decorations are more for her. Its called inclusion folks.....

My 3yo daughter always asks if Rossi is racing ("No darling this is Superbikes" : )

She can recognise him by face, and when he's kitted out on the bike (had to teach her the new Fiat scheme).

Now she is starting to get interested in Casey Stoner!

She's been watching bike racing with me since she was 5mths old...

To answer your question, have a look on ebay. I have a white Honda flag (just has the wing in red with Honda underneath it) which I got for $25AUD delivered.

It's not authentic of course but does the job (although it hasn't been raised in the living room for a race yet! I'm a Honda guy supporting Stoner... hang on, I have a big Aussie flag that I can hang up : )

You could also buy some material and have fun with your daughter painting some flags and banners.

You sir, should be a father of the year candidate! :up: :)

We don't quite dress up the house but I'll often wear a Kawasaki or rider t-shirt or cap whilst I'm watching the race.

Thanks NinjaMaster, I just dug up a video I remembered taking - she was THREE months old! during Stoner's first season on the LCR 250.

This Sunday the Shanghai races start on Foxtel in Oz at 1:30pm so she (and her 8 month old brother) will both be tuning in : )

My wife likes Barros, so she wears a Mr Bean mask and carries a lookalike of his bear during the race :laugh:
