MSR Japanese Version (Test Pressing)

This has just come to light courtesy of the Dreamcast Junkyard.  I doubt there's anything different in this version (like replays or corrected kudos) but it nice to see it was at least pressed.

West Design Promotion

This was a set design for a Metropolis Street Racer promotional event.  It  was arranged by a company called West Design and Production who are no longer trading.  It seems Sega Europe also used this same company to design sets for Dreamcast promotional events.

Press Release

MSR goes to Motor Show
Tue 10 Oct 2000

Sega is unveiling the fantastic Metropolis Street Racer at the Birmingham Motor Show. The Dreamcast stand also features Ferrari F355 Challenge, POD 2 and Speed Devils. Visitors to the show, which runs from October 18-29 [2000], will be able to test drive MSR's range of fabulous marques including the Nissan Skyline, Toyota Supra and Mitsubishi Lancer. The Dreamcast games are located at Stand 1100. The show opens daily between 9.30am and 7pm (closes 5.30pm on October 29 2000).

Final Overtake Challenge (Chapter 24, Stage 5)

A video I made back in 2011.  Notable as it's one of the few challenges where Kudos exploits do not work due to the minimum number of cars (6) and the strict 3 minute time limit.  Add in an extra car to squeeze past and only those who drive well can succeed;  you can see I only just made it!

Cars Overtaken: 7

Course: San Francisco - Long - Fisherman's Wharf - Jefferson West IV

Car: Nissan Skyline GTR (Manual Gears/ABS Off)

Weather: Misty

Refresh Rate: 60hz

The story behind the cover photos.

On a sidenote, I think I've found out who was driving the Vauxhall VX220 in the opening sequence.  Let's just say he went on to bigger and better things and found success in movie special effects!
