JR to make first appearance as BSB champion.

Rizla Suzuki rider and 2004 British Superbike title holder John Reynolds will make his first public appearance in England as the BSB champ this weekend in Nottingham at the public release of the Crescent Suzuki racing computer game.

The Crescent game, released for the Playstation 2 last Friday, features a whole host of Suzuki stars including the three times British champion John Reynolds and his team-mate Yukio Kagayama.

Apart from having the chance to race as Reynolds or Kagayama another unique feature to the game is the opportunity to race as a sidecar. The game offers a great deal of Arcade-type playability for very little price- only ?14.99.

At the public release on Saturday in John Reynolds home town of Nottingham, the public will have the chance to race against the Rizla star in a time trial with the fastest time of the day, as long as it's quicker than Reynolds lap, earning the lucky contestant two VIP tickets to a BSB meeting of their choice in the 2005 season.

Reynolds will be there from 11am to 2pm to set his lap on the game and meet the public. Race fans will also have the chance to get there hands on posters and other goodies for the champ to sign.

The activities will kick off this Saturday morning 9th October at the Games Station, 16 Angel Row, central Nottingham.
