I thought there would be loads of demo racers posting in this thread with their ideas (or some even begging for the license), but haven't seen any for the time being. And no, don't beg for it, that's not the way...
Couple of names have been brought into my attention. They have done something useful for the community, which is good, and in my mind this raises their stocks pretty high.
Now, I think the license will be handed to a demo racer from my own judgement - it will most likely be done in silence, since there seems to be all kinds of promotions going on at the forums and I don't want to stir up the soup even more.
There are few interesting ideas in this thread which might be taken in consideration in the future. Thank you all from your input.
