Nice, that would be less work for me :)
For the network gaming, I was thinking of letting clients take care of 
the simulation of their kart, rather than doing it on a central server. 
The central server would only be used to forward messages from one 
client to all other clients.
There are issues related to cheating with this approach, but I have some 
ideas to detect that.

Classes of interest are:
top10::ui_interactive::FakeKart (already used to draw the ghost)
top10::racing::LapRecord and KartState (to record a lap for a kart, by 
storing its state at various time intervals)

FakeKart takes care of interpolating the state of the kart according to 
the last and next known state. This must be changed to use the last 
known state only. In order to do that, the state must also include the 
linear and angular speed.

In the mean time, I compiled Qt Free on windows, that would hopefully 
allow me to compile the track editor on windows.
