Frequently Asked Questions

Given that the site has only really just launched, nobody has asked us any questions of any kind yet. “Frequently” is somewhat moot.

However, these are some of the things we reckon you might be thinking when reading the site, just to head off any questions you might have.

Who Owns Lights to Flag?

Lights to Flag is entirely owned and run by just one guy, a motoring journalist with over a decade of experience, with no corporate overlords or investors. We’re not affiliated with any brand of any kind, and that includes anyone who makes or has any financial interest in racing games, cars, gaming peripherals, or any of the subject matter on this site. Everything you read on here is fully independent, with no caveats.

What Makes Lights to Flag Different?

The goal of the site is to have everything that a regular car enthusiast, platform-agnostic driving game fan might want to see put into one place. Our focus is racing and driving games, but we want to fold in all those car-related things you get up to in your spare time, whether that’s movies, model cars, motorsport, or anything else. Additional to that we want to include as much of the fun and interesting automotive stuff and not so much of the weighty doom and gloom or divisive nonsense.

While we’ll cover a lot of the same ground as more focused sites, we’re not looking to be anyone’s competitor and if there’s something interesting that someone else has written first, we’ll send you to them instead of us: good writing from good people needs celebrating and rewarding, not ripping off and summarising.

Does Lights to Flag use Generative AI to Create Content?

Nope. Per the above, we’re very firmly in the camp that humans write things for humans to read. We won’t use Generative AI to “create” articles, images, or video, and if we could opt out of letting Generative AI scrape our site we would but apparently nothing can stop them now. You’ll never find three bullet-points made by a GenAI summarising our article before (or after) you read it either.

“AI” generally is hard to avoid, and we might use tools that have had it forced into them but we will try our best to either not use such tools or not use any “AI” functionality within them. Ultimately every word and every pixel on Lights to Flag has come from a human’s mind and fingers.
