Topic: Wrong flags |

So I was on the nations trophy page and noticed some of the flags are wrong.
Afghanistan, Iraq and Myanmar.
Kind of would have expected the people driving under those flags to mention stuff like this...
EDIT: I am willing to bet your flag for Malawi is outdated too.

Not as a country, no, but they're still there.
Had to check that they hadn't miraculously disappeared under the sea. ;p

you know what I meant ;]
mind you, if they have to come under the dutch kingdom then technically England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland shouldn't have their own flags either!
The game is based on FIFA country codes and not olympic ones, right?

Two of the islands are now constituent countries, Curacao and Sint Maarten, much like England, Wales, and Scotland.

That's the flag of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

The flag is that of Abu Dhabi; the emirate in which the Yas Marina circuit is located. Its usage in this game is consistent with certain things, but not others.

Still got the wrong flags, except after a bit of googling it turns out you have NEVER had the right flag for Afghanistan, since it is out of date by 13 years.

Yas Marina, Location: United Arab Emirates. This flag is of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
When we drive in Austin Texas, Laguna Seca...we use USA flag or GB flag instead England for Brands Hatch.
Btw, on two pages we have different flags for UAE in GPRO:
/gb/Calendar.asp
/gb/TrackDetails.asp?id=40

flag doesn't work for them..
Would be nice if administration could fix it..
Might be a problem with Ad Block?

Yes. it's a problem with AdBlock. And it's not exclusive to GPRO.
The country code of Andorra is AD. Because of this, the image for the flag is 'ad.gif'. So AdBlock blocks it assuming it is an ad, since its name is literally ad.
If you find it particularily annoying, you could maybe try white-listing it. Or just turn AdBlock off and let Vlad make a little bit off of those ads.

Well... the country link is "and", so probably the gif name was just forgot :)

I wonder why the site doesn't have a sprite coded for flags and only one image file for all :D, at least for the ones loading all pages in the language selection menu.

I found this issue in the past (initially I thought it was for political issues ^^). If you have Adblock Plus, add this line to the filters, and it should 'fix' the Andorran flag problem without risk of images with the same name in other webs not being blocked:
