SCA CartieSim has been developed by the Scottish Cartie Association as a tool for carte racers and race organisers. It allows cartie courses to be analysed to predict likely speeds and course times. In addition, it can highlight sections of the track where high speeds and tight cornering may cause difficulties and can be used to model the effect of chicanes on speeds.

Hinckley Soap Box Derby, Leicestershire

Jul 8 2012 - 12:00am
Jul 8 2012 - 11:59pm
Etc/GMT

The Hinckley BID Soap Box Derby is intended as an annual fun day for the teams, supporters and spectators of all ages from the Hinckley area, and beyond. As an event, it is also intended to raise money for local charities.

The aim is to encourage up to 50 Soap Box Teams to compete.

The idea is to utilise the natural hill on Castle Street for individual 'Time-Trial' performances – 3 runs per Team. The course will start from the Church Walk junction and end in Market Square.

'Themed' Soap Boxes are especially encouraged since they provide the most interest to spectators.

For further details, contact Steve Wegerif.
