To get started in ICR2 track editing, first download the Tutorial Studio, which is a comprehensive step-by-step guide written by Tjerk. Since it was posted in 2008, there have been further discoveries and clarifications that were made in the forums. We will catalog those in this wiki.

As of 2020, Tjerk is leading an effort to gather info and update the tutorial.
