They will also be illuminated for the top 3. 1 light will be lit for first place, 2 lights for second, 3 lights for third. If you might have noticed, there are two versions currently in use...green lights that change to yellow and flash when the yellow comes, and blue lights that flash when the yellow comes out. They indicated that in all likelihood, they will transition to the blue light model as that is the driver’s preference.
You would think a solid green, solid yellow, and a solid red light on each car would be sufficient. That's JMO
