Hi all, Im taking part in the Sainsbury’s Sport Relief Swimathon, this part of the Sainsbury's Sport Relief Games taking place from Friday 21st to 23rd March 2014. It’s the UK’s biggest fundraising swimming event with thousands of people jumping into hundreds of pools around the country. Im doing th...

I think the simplest thing to do for starters is see if your using your current processor to it's full potential when encoding. If your not using close to or 100% OF YOUR cpu when encoding, I would suggest changing codec or encoding software for a multi threaded version that way you will be using al...

Id agree with what Ben said, you haven't mentioned what aspect your trying to improve though? Your Processor and memory are fairly fast and unless your using all 8GB adding more wont help as you wont be using it. Replacing with lower latency RAM may help if some is available and that's likely to be ...

Anyone have any news on the Qicksilver GP that's on the calender?

From the response to the poll we have enough for two teams from HRCCC so far, Once we have an idea of a date I think we will look for people to put their names down so we can make sure interested parties get a place. I plan to put the event details up on the website and circulate them at racing when...

James, Ian, Dale,

You have a pm with some thoughts on event format etc.

I think now that it is clear that there is some interest in the team/ endurance race we need to get an idea of how many people would like to take part. Myself, James Carroll, Ian Smith are going to take a look at organising the event, so please let one of us know via the forum or at racing if you wo...

OK that seems to have worked, if everybody could vote in the poll that would be great. A few other things to consider are: Using the extra width of carpet for a bigger track If people want to form their own teams or have them picked out of a hat. It could be organised for charity. If so I have my ow...

Thanks Ben, I will see what i can do.

1 poll coming up, hopfully?

Thanks for your support James, I would really like to see this succeed like you say we just need to gauge interest from others at the club and possibly further afield.

Not sure how you start a poll on the forum but it could be an idea to see how many might be interested, anyone know how to do this?

After reading about the 12th team race at ardent, I wondered if we could stage something similar at Hinckley. Here are a few ideas I have had: My preference would be for a touring car team race and that the whole team each used their own cars but, a RTR or kit\ car that the team shared would be an o...

From the list i would say 2 rubber for myself, But I would not pigeon hole this to much as I might put people Off and that will be then end of it.

Id allso be interestd, but I would want to run yellow mini pins and a 13.5/27t motor.

Guy's, I would be very interested in running buggy's indoor again if there are sufficient numbers and we were going to run mini pins and 27t/13.5 motors. I would not recommend anybody using blue mini pins as even though we used to use these on carpet back in the day. Since the use of tyre additive w...

Hi, Fortunately racing electrics is a bit cheaper now than it used to be thanks to li-po batteries and Brushless motors. I would certainly recommend getting a li-po battery as you only need 1 per car as opposed to one per race, you would need to get a li-po charger as well but these are not expensiv...
