Podium

Dalam kebanyakan siri sukan permotoran, tiga pemandu teratas daam sebuah perlumbaan menerima trofi semasa berdiri diatas podium. Dalam siri antarabangsa, lagu kebangsaan juara, dan diikuti dengan pengeluar akan dimainkan dan bendera negara dikibarkan.

A podium Formula Satu. Juara berdiri di tengah, bersama naib juara di sebelah kirinya dan pemandu tempat ke-3 di kanan. Turut hadir adalah orang kenamaan yang menyampaikan trofi.

Following the presentation of the trophies, the drivers will often spray Champagne over each other and their team-members watching below, a tradition started by Dan Gurney following the 1967 24 Hours of Le Mans race. Occasionally the drivers will refrain from spraying the champagne as a mark of respect for a fatality during the event.

The term has become common parlance in the media, where a driver may be said to "be heading for a podium finish" or "just missing out on a podium" when he is heading for, or just misses out on a top three finish.

NASCAR, the highest level of stock car racing in the United States does not have a three-person podium, instead the race winner celebrates with his team in Victory Lane.
