Overview
  It's a program to view and manage the tracks of GeneRally.

Installation
  Unzip the file into a folder of your choice.
  On my page there’s a link to download the required files (msvbvm60.dll,
  mscomctl.ocx, comdlg32.ocx), in case you don’t have them.

Usage
  The first time you run the program, go to Options and select the folder where
  you have GeneRally installed (find GeneRally.exe). The times stored in the
  tracks are GMT. If you select "Local", the time shown is adjusted to the one
  you use in your computer. You can also select what do you want to be exported
  to TXT and what to view on the BMP. The option to fix the ghost values works
  only on those strange tracks where the vertical position goes below 0, but
  keep in mind that they are not fixed on the official hotlap compo.
  You can filter which tracks do you want to see in the list, selecting the
  conditions you want. For example, you can filter all tracks where the TR car
  is formula and then filter again to show all tracks where the TR driver is
  not equal to the ghost driver, etc.
  Refresh button rereads all files in the list, and clear the filter.
  Export and Export all buttons creates a TXT file with the current track (or
  all tracks) properties and/or records.
  The verify button check if the cars used in the current track are available
  in your car files on the GeneRally folder. If one or more cars are not found,
  then you can create a car file with them.
  If there's a ghost lap saved, it also verifies it's authenticity with a
  verification code that checks all the trk file and is updated ONLY when the
  ghost lap is saved. So if you don't beat the ghost, but you set a lap that is
  in the top 6, or you don't race alone and you set a lap record, the
  verification code becomes unusable. Let's try with an example. You start with
  a clean track, race 30 laps and set a record (on ANY lap). Verify the track,
  and it's OK. Race on the same track and beat the ghost (again, on ANY lap).
  Verify the track and it's OK. Race against the AI and it (or you) set a new
  record. The verification fails.
  You can compare the current selected track with another, no matter if the
  name/records/ghost are different. If the tracks are identical then you can
  import the records.
  Move button allows you to move tracks to another folder. Also you can create
  and delete folders.
  With the records button you can reset the records you want on the current
  track or all tracks in the list. For example, if you select only to remove
  the track record time, then the ghost lap becomes the new lap record. If you
  reset 5, then 6 is now 5 and 6 is removed.
  If you double click the BMP of the track or it's name, a window with a bigger
  BMP appears and you can see the AI line and the checkpoints if you want (try
  with 'A' and 'C' keys or with the right mouse button). If there is a ghost
  lap, you should see the ghost line, and other data. You can click on the
  speed and acceleration values to see the position. If the word 'Acceleration'
  is red that means it would be rejected from the official hotlap compo.
  The ghost positions are shown for every 0.02 seconds because that's how they
  are saved by GeneRally.
  Also you can drop files on the BMP (in combination with ALT, CTRL, SHIFT) to
  compare up to 8 ghosts.
