Just before the start of the race, the flags of each racer (or of his sponsor) are shown, paraded across the start line by one of each racer's ground crew -- Anakin's flagholder being the robot C3PO (Cee Threepio).
The full list of podracers in the Boonta Classic edition featured in _The
Phantom Menace_ seems to be of 25, compiled from several sources. I do not
know weather all of them were visible in the final cut of the movie, though.

A white cloth, approx. 5:6, with a large squarish light blue horizontally
symmetrical emblem on the hoist (actually covering most of the flag) and a
golden monogram on the upper fly. Anakin Skywalker, a young human
(caucasian) male, is arguebly the main character of this movie.

Five pennants hoisted together, each approx. 1:10 (thus totalizing approx.
1:2); the middle one is light yellow, the upper ones red, and the bottom
ones orange. Sometimes refered to as Ben Quadrinaros, this racer is that cartoon looking chap who never
gets his craft on the air.

A red flag approx. 1:2 hoisted under two pennants, each approx. 1:10, the
top one light blue and the bottom one very dark blue. Dud Bolt is the one
looking like a cartoon wolf, he gets smashed by Selbulba.

A green flag approx. 2:5 hoisted under three white pennants, each approx.
1:10. This is one of the guys who plays at the Mos Espa casino, looks like a
cross between a pig and the Notre Dame hunchback.
