Quote from Smolar :

cheers

Congratulations for winning. Amazing times!

Quote from SilverArrows77 :

You really didnt even bother reading it did you? .....

Yes, I read it.
You mean that you have already said that only the top 50 times should enter the random draw for the winner. And i just disagree (even though i would have more chances to win with a random draw) and state my opinion, if that's alright with you....

Quote from SilverArrows77 :

My thoughts would be that demo comps like this often reward the fastest driver, who often is not the most deserving driver, and this also has the affect of scaring off other demo users from the competition who believe that stand no chance at all. Yet it does make sense to verify the person is an interested racer by doing it by lap time.

In this thought it would be run it in the exact way you have it now (no need for any changes or resubmissions then) but declare the Top 50 times (as an example - and one entry per user) as eligible, and then fall back on the good old sytem of "drawing an eligible name from a hat" to declare a winner - i would think it would attract greater interest with a slightly unknown outcome like this, and many more users would feel they actually stand a chance of winning.

Although your suggestion sounds interesting you also need to take into consideration this:
If a demo user (A) has managed to achieve really fast times this surely means that he/she is REALLY interested in LFS so as to devote many hours in practice in order to achieve such times. On the other hand, a demo user (B) who doesn't have very fast times may or may not be that interested in LFS. If user (B) participates in this generous contest of danowat and wins just because his/her name was selected by chance don't you think that would be unfair for demo user (A) who although has put many hours of practice just can't afford an S2 license in order to get more involved with the game? So I think that the logic of danowat that the fastest driver should win is correct.

On the other hand, if someone would like to give driver B a chance in winning and also not disappoint driver A in my opinion (and since I'm not the one paying for ) there should be 2 S2 licenses for the prize: 1 awarded to the fastest driver (so that driver (A) would be truly rewarded for his/her efforts) and 1 awarded to a random demo user contestant (so that driver (B) would not feel it is impossible to win just because he/she hasn't got enough time in game practice yet).

That's only my opinion.

Back to the game then to try to make a decent lap since an opportunity to win an S2 license doesn't come often .
