Re: Multimatic

@The359: Your CGR example is rendered moot by the fact that Multimatic only ran the cars in the WEC. Ganassi ran them directly in IMSA, with the Le Mans effort split. If you want to change those flags in the WEC articles, by all means go ahead; AFAIK, the precedent has been that the service provider's nationality is the one displayed, as it's been with the Joest-run Mazda effort, despite them running the cars out of GA.

Also, the Mazdas ran the Daytona 240 with the German flag replaced with a Canadian flag. GhostOfDanGurney (talk) 14:47, 8 July 2020 (UTC)

No such precedent exists or has ever existed. The flag of the entry is what is used, as the entry can use whatever flag it wants. Hence why Chip Ganassi Racing in the US and the WEC ran with American flags, because that is the nationality they selected for those entries, despite who was pulling the strings in the background. Benetton, Cirtek, Eurointernational, Minardi, all teams that have changed nationalities over the years. As previously pointed out when we had Joest Racing, "Audi Sport North America" was alternatively run with an American flag and German flag various years. The Joest debate centered around the fact that no flag was inherently displayed and the cars themselves carried three different flags (German, Japanese, and American). They are not Mazdaspeed so they are not a Japanese team, and Mazda Motorsports is not a Canadian entity. The Joest entries were different as Joest was part of the entry name.
