The podium hold asks whether there is a podium

Browse Source 
RP412PODIUM=0 promises "straight to the results" and delivered eleven
seconds of black screen first: the winners' circle hold was applied
unconditionally at the buzzer, and the timer never asked whether there
was a stand to hold the mission open FOR. Found by the -egg harness,
which could reach the end of a race unattended and noticed the promise
not being kept.

With the podium off, the hold now stands aside and the base 3-second
race fade runs the show. With it on, RP412PODIUMHOLD tunes the length
(1-60 seconds, default the same 11 as always) - eleven seconds of one
parked pod is a long look in single player, and that is now a choice
rather than a constant. The decision point logs which path it took and
the value it applied, verified all three ways:

  podium off - the race fade stands (3s) and the results come straight up
  holding the mission open 5s for the stand
  holding the mission open 11s for the stand
