Sorry, wrong one. You need the Indy track pack for ICR1 by Papyrus.

You are the proud owner of The Papyrus Group's first racing simulation.
This was the first REAL simulation I ever found for the home computer.
And believe you me, I tried them all.  Unfortunately the format in this
sim is nowhere close the formats of ICR1, ICR2, N1, or N2.  Therefore
(as you have found out), you can't use it to convert the track to any of
the other products.  The IMS track that everyone is all hot and bothered
about was an expansion pack for the original IndyCar Racing sim.  There
were 2 track packs, one with about 7 tracks, and the IMS one which also
included a paintkit.  The last I heard the only people who still had any
to sell was *** in Europe (they distributed the sim outside of North
America).  But, I doubt they still have any left.  If so, some smart son
of a gun will buy them all and auction them off.

If it says EA on it, it sounds like it's the original Indy 500 game, not the
add on track for Indycar racing.  A fun game, but not the track everyone is
lusting over.

This is not the same game.  The program you have was the very first
Papyrus racing product, published by EA in 1989.  The Indianapolis track
disk was released in the spring of 1994, as an add-on track for the
IndyCar Racing game that was published in November 1993.
