I have bemoaned the lack of slot track design software for a while now.
With the disappearance of Ultimate Racer, Scalextric Track Designer, SlotMan, Tracker 2000 and Track Power, it has felt like the ultimate goal of a modern, relatively inexpensive, cross platform planner had waltzed off ever further into the distance.
All of which made it a great pleasure to be contacted by the developer of Race Track Lab, a free, web based, cross platform, slot track designer.
Since it is browser based, there is no need to download or install, you simply register, and start designing. It also means that you can access Race Track Lab from any device; desktop, laptop, tablet, and/or phone, all you need is a web browser.
The system provides real-scale measurements, multi-lane layouts, inventory management and a community circuit library. It supports Scalextric (SCX), Ninco, Carrera, Policar, and Scaleauto tracks, with Scalextric (UK), 1/43, and HO to come.
Having briefly tested it my first impression is that it is very good. It feels exactly like where we should be with a track designer, and that is a huge compliment, as it's a first time in over a decade I've said that. It seems well designed, intuitive, and simple to use.
If you're anything like me, you probably have your favourite old track designer stashed away somewhere, and it probably does everything you need it to do. But if I were new to the hobby, I would be very tempted to go for Race Track Lab.
