RAC stands for Recent Average Credit. It is the current running average of credit earned by each Computer, Participant, or Team over time.

RAC tracks the rate at which you are earning credit with credit earned today having more weight in the average than the credit granted in the past; each day farther back the less impact on the "running" average.

If you stop crunching, your RAC will go down, as it is halved every week.

For those that are mathematically inclined, the calculation is an exponentially reducing average with a half life of 2 weeks.
