How to open RAC file?

Step 1. Install Venue Race Application

Programs to open RAC file

Step 2. Create association of Venue Race Application with RAC files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the RAC file still does not use the Venue Race Application program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RAC file with the Venue Race Application application.

If, despite the association of the Venue Race Application program with the Venue Race Application file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Concept2 Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RAC file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The RAC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RAC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RAC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RAC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of RAC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RAC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Concept2 Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RAC except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the RAC file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file RAC to close. However, some background programs may block the RAC file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
