I do not know how a snowy harbor is generic, just because it is realistic? How many games can you think of have a harbor that looks really similar to Shenmue? Especially one in a mascot racer?
Maybe not the best idea for a track, but I think more people would appreciate it than they would Billy's levels...
I personally really really want Big Forest from Virtua Racing with the Replay music from the 32X

Not the most original level, but imagine if it had the same shitty graphics as that? It was a really big game and was the first fully 3D racing game, mad respect! And we can say it is Jacky and Akira's level!
And if they cannot do OutRun, SEGA Rally Championship, Power Drift levels I think they should at least get some of the music from their games in... Maybe not iconic as Daytona USA, but when was Billy ever iconic? Chuchus? YEAH, I THOUGHT SO!
