51. Podium Ceremony And Press Conferences¶
51.1.¶
There will be a podium ceremony after every race. Where there are at least six cars entered in a category or Cup and at least three cars finishing, the drivers finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions and a representative of the winning Team must attend the prize-giving ceremony on the podium and abide by the podium procedure determined by the Promoter. When there are fewer than six cars entered or fewer than three cars finishing in a Category or Cup, but more than one, then only the winning drivers and Team representative will attend. This may be changed by decision of the Promoter.
If there are fewer than three starters in a category, the winner may be invited to the overall winners' podium.
The podium will follow the protocol laid down by the Promoter.
Should all the drivers of a car share the same nationality, the Team may choose between the nationality of the Competitor's License or that of the Drivers for the podium flag for that car.
