The "Beat Bizzare Creations" Challenge

**Huge thanks to "krssn" from the DC-Talk forum for the photo**

This challenge was found in Dreamcast Magazine Issue 16 (Paragon Publishing). Its another fastest lap competition with times set by Kevin Reilly, a member of Bizarre Creations' staff. Prizes were nothing special (Joytech goodies).


Some very good times set but after playing yesterday I manage to surpass them. All cars had manual transmission with ABS turned off.  Weather was clear.

GREAT GEORGE STREET EAST II/ST JAMES S-4 
Car: Mazda Miata 
Bizarre Creations' Best Lap: 17.802 secs
My Best Lap:  17.006 secs 

TRAFALGAR EAST/TRAFALGAR S-8 
Car: Peugeot 206 
Bizarre Creations' Best Lap: 17.030 secs 
My Best Lap: 16.533 secs 

HOUSE OF PARLIAMENT SOUTH/WESTMINSTER S-6 
Car: Alfa 156 
Bizarre Creations' Best Lap: 25.869 secs 
My Best Lap: 25.093 secs 

EMBARCADERO EAST/FISHERMANS M-7
Car: Audi TT Coupe 
Bizarre Creations' Best Lap: 48.243 secs 
My Best Lap: 45.228 secs 

CHUO-DORI HIGASHE/SHINJUKU S-9 
Car: Mitsubishi FTO 
Bizarre Creations' Best Lap: 29.801 secs 
My Best Lap: 27.932 secs with accidental wall tap 

I have checked with owners of subsequent issues and although the same challenge is repeated in the next issue (#17) there doesn't seem to be any mention of the readers' results. The above times were also mentioned again in issue #28 so it's highly likely the competition was either abandoned or the results were not made public :(
