There are no straight lines on any of the pieces of the checkered flag. Probably the most recognizable aspects of automotive racing, it has to appear as a living part of the cue, signaling the win for the driver. Richard is seen here cutting Mother-of-Pearl flag inlays on one of his state-of-the-art CNC machines.
