But that idea is stoopid though 'cause whoever has the fastest pod will ALWAYS win because combat isn't out so there aren't enough variables to make the race interesting or any fun at all.
It also depends on the piloting skill of the competitors, and the length of the race. In a long race, being online each time you need to set a new course can be the difference between winning and losing. Podracing is a little different from ship racing, I admit, but the fastest ship has not always won the ship races that have been run.
