Find the angle you're supposed to be going first. If your car is facing away from this value by 180deg in either direction, show the wrong way indicator.

You have to set up 'checkpoints' around that track (best to make an editor to place these. You can use this to make sure a player did a lap properly, but you can also do what hell monkey said and calculate the angle towards the checkpoint and the current angle of the car.

Yeah, in my code, when I refer to a waypoint, it's another way of saying a checkpoint, implying a curvy track.
