The term "pole position", is used in the Formula Virtual World Championship as the term to define 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 decided by a separate qualifying session where drivers try to set the fastest lap and are then placed on the grid in order of their lap times from fastest to slowest.
