UPDATE
SXR track libraries have now been included in the official Ultimate Racer download. This includes six track scales and a comprehensive user guide. More details below.
Scratch built track planner
An ongoing project to build a series of custom made track libraries for Ultimate Racer, allowing you to plan a massive range of scratch built slot tracks, anything from a single lane rally track up to an eight lane commercial raceway.
"A good clean clever job"
"Your libraries for UR30 are amazing and very fast to build"
"Amazing work"
The complete set of track libraries are now included in the new Ultimate Racer release (3.0.30r3)
This includes six different scales, over 3,000 track pieces (not including borders) and a comprehensive user guide.
Scales
- 1/64 comparable to Tyco, Tomy, lane width 4cm, 1.57"
- 1/43 comparable to Carrera Go, SCX Compact, lane width 6cm, 2.36"
- 1/32 comparable to Scalextric, lane width 8cm, 3.15"
- 1/28 comparable to Ninco, lane width 9cm, 3.54"
- 1/24 comparable to Carrera, lane width 10cm, 3.94"
- 1/24+ comparable to Commercial or ISRA Raceway, lane width 11cm, 4.33"

Comprehensive User Guide (2.05MB PDF)
There is also an Ultimate Racer section on the SCI forum for general UR questions, or for any queries regarding the SXR libraries.
EXAMPLES

UPDATE 30/01/2013
SXR track libraries are now included in the official release of Ultimate Racer. This includes two extra track sizes, 1:28, equivalent to Ninco track and 1:24+, suitable for ISRA compatible tracks. It also includes a comprehensive user guide.
Ultimate Racer has also been enhanced to make using the libraries easier. It now includes tabs for odd numbered lanes allowing us to amalgamate each scale into one single library.

OLDER VERSIONS
For those of you with older versions of Ultimate Racer, we'll be leaving the libraries below. Download and unzip to your UR Library folder, Program Files > Racer30 > Library.
Please be aware that these are not compatible with the libraries which are now part of the official UR download.
Downloading
The easiest way to get the libraries is to download the SXR track pack.
However, please bear in mind that it includes a lot of individual track systems as you can see below. Unless you want to design every availble configuration of track, you might find it simpler to just download the individual track systems you need.
For instance, if you want to design a three lane, 1/32 scale track, with consistent lane spacing, then you only need the "Three lane 1/32" track system from the table below.

8 | 1/32 | 8cm | Eight lane 1/32 |
8 | 1/24 | 10cm | Eight lane 1/24 |
If you want to vary the lane spacing around your track you'll need to use the 'adapter' tracks below.
For instance, you might want a 1/24 scale track with a squeeze at one corner, where the lane spacing contracts from 10cm down to 8cm. For this you would need three track systems, "1/24", "1/32", and "1/32 to 1/24 adapter".
