I suppose, however, that the period of innovation on VROC is past and the
original developers have moved on to other projects. A shame, really.
There was talk about a "VROC 2" in some quarters not so long ago - I
don't have any info as to whether that's still a live project,
though. "VROC 1" itself is (I believe) not likely to be developed
further, and is not going to be open-sourced, so it really needs
someone to start again from scratch - not a particularly enticing
idea, I suspect.

Alison Hine mentioned this in her recent interview. Whether it actually
is being worked on I don't know. The original vroc source is unavailable,
so it would have to be a complete rewrite.

My preference would be separate rankings for each track plus more
comprehensive stat keeping like best laps/ by chassis. I can't think of an
enhancement that would gas up the community better. (Aside from GPL2, of
course....).
