Lipo's have no "memory" so don't need discharging and re-charging before use like nimh did. They also don't self discharge like nimh did, so between use they don't need looking after to the same extent - my one and only pack has been sat in my garage for nearly 2 months without use so after a I month made sure it was at around 80% charged (which it was) and left it.
Not sure if charging at more than 1c gives more punch or not, but they're more than fast enough as they are.
When I do eventually race again I'll just charge them (at 1c) to capacity for round one and then re-charge again between rounds.
It really is that simple! (some touring car drivers like to make these things seem more complicated than they need to be)
