Winning the world championship is the pinnacle of the sport and carries with it the gold roof which the driver displays for the following season they can also adopt the number “1” if they choose.
Other successes within the sport are displayed by roof colour or markings. The overall season points champion has dual silver stripes, the European champion has Red &White checks and the British Champion has Black & White checks.
Roof colour is also used as a grading system for the drivers. White “top” drivers are normally novice and inexperienced drivers that start at the front of the grid and the grading system then goes Yellow, Blue, Red, and finally Superstar signified by yellow flashing lights on a Red roof.
Drivers are frequently up or down graded based on the previous months results although some drivers are allowed to keep their roof colour if they have not competed in enough meetings during the season.
