POLEPOSITION

Pole position

The term "pole position", as used in motorsports is the position of the motor vehicle and its driver at the front of the grid in the starting lineup. This driver is referred to as the polesitter. Grid position is usually either determined by a separate qualifying session where drivers try to set the fastest lap, or based on their position in the previous race. Different motorsports series use different formats for determining which driver has the opportunity to start from pole position.
