Hello all,
Some background and updates relating to the RaceCensus Database.
Firstly, RaceCensus is now 100% Vista compatible.
The setup program just needs to be run in Administrator mode.
You right click the setup file and select (Run as administrator).
The setup file takes slower to repond, so be patient, but the actual database is faster on Vista.
The database was first devised as an alternative to other products.
Basically it all started when I looked around at what was on offer, there are some great products available, but I didn't need many of the features, and didn't want to pay for things I'd never use.
So RaceCensus was born, which was devised as a pure system tester.
It does not contain ratings, and you can't work with upcoming races, but at a fraction of the cost of alternatives, there are many pluses.
Updates are posted quarterly.
All data in the database can be exported to excel access html csv and many more formats.
The data can be used to create your own impact values
You can save money by finding out with the press of a button, whether a theory is profitable or not.
You can get stats at the drop of a hat.
The free systems continue to be profitable 9 years later.
