Jaguar XJ220 Data Disk?

I had a look at "Jaguar XJ220 (1992)(SR)[a2][datadisk].zip", which apparently contains ten new tracks for the game.

There's a notice on the disk: "Jaguar Data Disk! 10 New Courses by Core Design" which would suggest that it's an official addon of some sort (though I guess it could be something Skid Row themselves produced, who knows).

In any case, I can't seem to load the custom tracks. When I try to load from the ADF in the editor it gives me "Please Insert Data Disk" repeatedly, and when I try to save to it I get the message "Data Disk is Unformatted" (sometimes WinUAE gives me a message about requiring a custom format). Which leads me to:

1. Does anyone know the true history of this? It might be worthwhile adding to the HOL page
2. Does anyone actually know how to get these to work on WinUAE, or at all?
3. Is it possible to get these to work with the WHDLoad slave as well?

i doubt it would be an official addon because it's in the unofficial addons and patches section of tosec, thats most likely why there is no info about the addon available on the HOL site.
there seems to be 3 other versions available on the server in the unofficial addons section, maybe the [a2] version you tried is bad.

If WinUAE asks for a custom format then you have to create a blank disk using the 'Create Cutom Disk' option, this creates a 2mb blank disk.

EDIT: I've just played the IPF version and it's the same as the SkidRow version with one difference. The IPF version works. I don't think there is anything special with the SkidRow version, the original game is 2 disks aswell. The Data disk from the SkidRow version doesn't work with the IPF version.
