Talk:Le Mans - Pursuit of Victory/@comment-123.124.240.244-20150605082039

I find that in the game data files there is a text file which contains all description of the game. In which I found out all the script for this challenge. I tried to split them into days and events based on my understanding. There might be some disordered text so this is just for your reference. It's good to know anyway, at least for me.

One of the interesting thing I found is, the last event of last day really looks stupid to me :-) :

"As a reward, the team would like to present you with the winning car…after you do your victory lap of course.

It's time for your victory lap! Why don't you do some donuts to celebrate? In fact, why not do five! Traction Control and Steering Assists have been disabled.

Complete the victory lap and perform 5 donuts"

Pursuit of Victory

- day 1 --

event 1 --

Right, today's the day. We've put in the hard yards to get here and, strewth, if we didn't cut it close. But we're ready, and I reckon we have a fair go at winning this thing.

We're starting from the back row because of our grid penalty. Don't let it mess with your head, keep focused and start the stint well.

With our speed, we'll catch up with the lead pack in no time.\nFinish in the top six.

Finish in the top six.

event 2 --

Hey, I've got my guys tracking your average speed over the race so we can analyse your performance. The higher your average speed, the better you're driving.

I want you to win this stint with an average speed of 140 MPH (225 KPH) or above.

Win with an average speed of 140 MPH (225 KPH) or above

You've reached a pack of back markers. Make your way carefully past them or it could ruin our run.\nWin this stint without any collisions.

Win this event without any collisions

Great job. Considering we were a hair's breadth away from being disqualified, I'm very happy with our performance.

We almost weren't even in the race, and now we're chasing the trophy - it's been quite a journey. It's amazing to think back to how it all began…

- day 2 --

event 1 --

Hi [szPlayerName]. I've got something exciting for you! How does racing an LMP1 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for 2015 sound? A race team contacted me, and they need a driver.

Hi! I've got something exciting for you! How does racing an LMP1 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for 2015 sound? A race team contacted me, and they need a driver.

It just so happens that they'll be participating in today's exhibition races, which will give us a chance to scope them out.

Keep an eye out for their driver, Philip Hartson. Let's see what he's made of in the warm ups.\nWin this Head To Head.

Win this event

event 2 --

Good start, but it's just the beginning. Keep the laps coming and win these stints.

Win these events

event 3 --

Hmmm - Hartson wasn't very impressive. Perhaps he's just a slow starter.\nWin these final warm up events.

Win these events

Their car is struggling a bit. Not a good first impression…

Let's make a big impact and finish this stint with a lead of 250 yards (228 meters).

Win this event with a lead of at least 250 yd (228 m)

event 4 --

Ok, they've finally gotten their act together and Philip is hot on your tail.\nProve that you deserve a spot in their team and win this race!

Win this event

They started badly, but still managed a strong finish. This team has potential, and with you, they'll have the final piece of the puzzle to seriously challenge for Le Mans!

Let's do it! Join the team and carry them all the way to victory in Le Mans!

- day 3 --

event 1 --

G'day, I'm Norm, the team manager. I've been keeping tabs on your career and I think a driver like you could help us win Le Mans. We're a small outfit, but we more than make up for it with guts and a can-do attitude.

G'day mate. It's been a while, eh? After your performance last time, I knew you'd be perfect for our team. We're a small outfit, but we more than make up for it with guts and a can-do attitude.

First, I want you to meet the other drivers. You raced against Philip the other day, and our second driver is Luis Ortez. I'll be putting you through some challenges to help you integrate into the team.

Let's start with a blocking test. Don't let either Philip or Luis overtake you.

Win this event without being overtaken

event 2 --

Ok, now Luis will be in front. Beat him and win this race without going off-track. If you can overtake him within 15 seconds, I'll be really impressed.

Without going off-track, overtake Luis in 15 seconds OR win the race

event 3 --

Let's have a friendly competition with all our drivers. Reckon you can win these events?

Win these events

event 4 --

Let's try something different. You have one lap to win and overtake Luis five times. That means you'll overtake him, let him pass you, then overtake again…five separate times.

Overtake Luis five times and win

Heh, that's ripper driving. You're free to go, but some of the other drivers are staying back to keep on testing and practising.

You've already proven your skill and talent, [szPlayerName] - I think some rest is merited. We don't want our star driver getting tired from over-practising.

You've already proven your skill and talent - I think some rest is merited. We don't want our star driver getting tired from over-practising.

Over-practising? That's a new one... Either way, tomorrow you'll get your hands on an LMP1. Something to look forward to.

- day 4 --

event 1 --

It's time for you to get some cockpit time in our LMP1 car. You'll be driving it in a series of tests so you can learn its nuances.

Looks like we're not alone though. I see some other LMP1 teams coming in, so expect company on the track.

Let's get a quick run before the track gets crowded. I want you to win this event with an average speed of 120 MPH (193 KPH) or above.

Win with an average speed of 120 MPH (193 KPH) or above

event 2 --

I'd like to benchmark your performance with a Time Trial, it will give me a good assessment of your ability. Give it your best shot.

Complete this Time Trial

event 3 --

We don't want to reveal our car's weaknesses and strengths, so I won't ask you to push too hard during testing. The other teams look like they're holding their cards close to their chest as well.

Time to practice tire management. I've fitted you with worn tires, so your grip will deteriorate as you drive. Oh, and skidding or going off-track will also reduce grip.\nWin this race.

Win this event

event 4 --

Fuel management will also play a role to help us win. Whenever you can, lift off the throttle to save fuel. You'll be set to manual controls so you can modulate your fuel use.\nWin this race.

Win this event

event 5 --

Hey, I can see that you're itching to show what you're capable of! With all the media gathered here, why don't you finish this last test with a bang and get press coverage for your Le Mans challenge?

Let's go get some media attention! Win with an average speed of 130 MPH (209 KPH) or above to really get the press talking!

Win with an average speed of 130 MPH (209 KPH) or above

Hey, didn't I tell you to take it easy? You could have given the other teams valuable data. Don't trust their slow pace - they're not showing their true performance yet.

We'll be participating in a warm-up race before taking on Le Mans. The other LMP1 teams will be there - you'll see what they can really do then.

- day 5 --

event 1 --

G'day. I want you to take this race seriously. I know our opponents will. We should be able to get some good data to help tune our car for Le Mans.

Don't you worry, Norm. With [szPlayerName] on the team, we're a sure bet! We did so much better than everyone else during the test sessions.

Don't you worry, Norm. With my driver on the team, we're a sure bet! We did so much better than everyone else during the test sessions.

That was a test session, Natalia...this is a real race. Forget how we did then, we need to do well now.

Start strong and finish this stint in the top 10.

Finish in the top 10

event 2 --

Wow, what a world of difference from the test session. The other LMP1s are so much faster now. We've got to catch up.\nComplete at least 2 laps.

Complete 2 laps

event 3 --

We're still a ways behind and need to push much harder. Get the speed record this lap without going off-track!

Win this event without going off-track

event 4 --

We've finally caught up, but they are showing incredible speed. They must have tuned their cars to beat the pace we revealed during the test session. We've had to push the car extremely hard just to keep up.

The engine is close to overheating. Any time you can, lift off the throttle to cool the engine or it will break down.\nUse manual controls to manage the engine and finish this stint in the top ten.

Finish in the top ten

event 5 --

The car is in critical condition - even completing the race will be a miracle. But our pride is at stake, so do whatever it takes to avoid coming last!

Don't come last

Well, there you go. You gave our opponents data that allowed them to beat us today. Our car is in a bad state and it's going to take a lot of work to get it ready for Le Mans…if we can even make it there.

Look, you've got talent, but you can't do it all alone. A ton of people put their blood, sweat and tears into this, but you get the glory on the podium. Take some time to reflect, mate.

I know we messed up, but don't be too hard on yourself. Everyone makes mistakes, and every world champion has gotten where they are because of a good team.

- day 6 --

event 1 --

I've organized for you to meet some young drivers in a racing school. Hopefully you'll be able to motivate them, and teaching them will remind you what racing is all about!

Show the students that racing is not just about power. Beat them in these production cars.

Win this event

event 2 --

This one is a bit of fun. Win the race, but go the other way around the track and cross the finish line first!\nBrake and Steering assists have been disabled.

Cross the finish line first in the opposite direction

The students want to go against you in a number of races. It wouldn't look good if a pro driver lost here, so win all the events!

Win these events

event 3 --

The instructor has put forward one of their most promising students. He's talented, and a bit of a lone wolf.

He's challenged you to a one-on-one race. Sound like he needs a wake up call? Let's show him the gulf between a pro and an amateur.

Win the race and overtake your opponent 10 times by letting them pass you, then overtaking them again.

Win the race and overtake your opponent 10 times

event 4 --

Now, your opponent has been given a head start - catch up and win this race. To really rub it in, break his rear bumper and leave it dangling. Brake assists have been disabled so you can inflict maximum damage!

Break your opponent's rear bumper and win this race

event 5 --

That did the trick! The student has admitted he was pretty full of himself, and that you showed him how far he's got to go. He wants one last race to show what he can do with his full team behind him.

Let's respect his wish and drive your best. Win by 300 yards (274 meters) without colliding or going off-track.

Win by 300 yd (274 m) without colliding or going off-track

You've really inspired these young racers and even made some new fans! I hope this trip helped clear your head so we can fully concentrate on Le Mans preparations.

- day 7 --

event 1 --

G'day. You look well fired up. Look, let's put what happened behind us and put our heads down for some hard work.

For Le Mans, you'll have two co-drivers, each of whom use different car setups. Let's run some tests so we can figure out the best compromise.

First, try out Philip's high downforce setup. You'll be slower on the straights, but fast through the curves. Give it a go and win this event.

Win this event

event 2 --

You really see the benefit of this setup on curvy tracks. Give it a good run out and win these sections.

Win these events

event 3 --

Now for Luis's setup. He loves going at high speeds on the straights in return for lower downforce during the curves.\nWin these events.

Win these events

event 4 --

This setup thrives on a high speed circuit like Monza. Complete two laps with an average speed of 130 MPH (209 KPH) or above.

Complete 2 laps with an average speed of 130 MPH (209 KPH) or above

event 5 --

The two setups are so different that we'll need to make a compromise. I need your help to create a balanced setup that all of you can drive in Le Mans.

Bathurst has a long straight and challenging corners that will yield some good data. We'll be running some tests here to really get the car in tune.

We've set the car to a neutral setting, and will tune it from there. For this test, hit a speed of 220 MPH (355 KPH) without going off-track and win this event.

Hit 220 MPH (355 KPH) without going off-track and win

event 6 --

I'm not happy with our speed, so we've reduced drag in return for less downforce. To get better data, Traction Control will be disabled.\nWin this event without skidding.

Win this event without skidding

Good - I think we've got a well balanced setup for the car. We might have to do some final tweaks on the actual race day, but that's racing. Bring on Le Mans!

- day 8 --

event 1 --

We're finally at Le Mans! Let's get ready for qualifying. Now, grid positioning is based on the average of the two best lap times from each team. Drive as hard as you can.

Get the ball rolling and set a good lap time.\nWin this race under 3 minute 20 seconds.

Win this event under 3 minutes 20 seconds

event 2 --

The other cars are getting faster lap times so we'll be making tuning adjustments to match them. Complete this Time Trial under 3 minutes 10 seconds.

Finish this Time Trial under 3 minutes 10 seconds

event 3 --

You coped well with the new setup, but Philip and Luis are struggling and haven't been able to set any lap times. We need your help to set a good time or we might be disqualified.

The brakes are overheating due to damaged ducts. The more you use them, the less brake power you'll get. Let them cool off during the straights to regain brake power.

We're counting on you to handle the brake fade and still be competitive. Brake assists have been disabled to help you manage the brakes.\nWin this qualifying session.

Win this event

event 4 --

Good stuff...you saved our necks there. We've copped a grid penalty because Philip and Luis couldn't complete their laps, but it would have been a disaster if you didn't set those lap times.

Hey, now that qualifying is over, I've set up a PR event for you. You'll need to drive a VIP around the track against another racer.

Let's make this lap an exciting one for the VIP. Skid the car 10 times and win the race.

Skid the car 10 times and win

Today was good, despite our problems. We'll start at the back of the grid, but it's a long race and we have time to catch up. Take it easy now and get some rest.

- day 9 --

event 1 --

Right, today's the day. We've put in the hard yards to get here and, strewth, if we didn't cut it close. But we're ready, and I reckon we have a fair go at winning this thing.

The tires need heat to perform. Weave around the track to warm up the tires and increase their grip to 100%. Remember not to overtake and complete the formation lap under 4 minutes 20 seconds.

Without overtaking, finish the lap under 4m 20s with tires at 100%

event 2 --

The start flag is waving! Let's make a strong push to get past the slower cars unscathed.\nFinish this stint in the top six without colliding and damaging your car.

Finish in the top six without damaging your car

event 3 --

Good start, but it's just the beginning. Keep the laps coming and win these stints without going off-track to save our tires.

Win these stints without going off-track

event 4 --

We're doing well, but let's increase our performance. Win this stint with an average speed of 158 MPH (254 KPH) or above.

Win with an average speed of 158 MPH (254 KPH) or above

event 5 --

You've come up against the back markers. Take your time and overtake them without ANY contact and win this stint.

Win this stint without any contact

event 6 --

The engineers are telling me that we should change the tires soon. I need you to squeeze out another two more laps and win this stint.

Win this stint

event 7 --

Alright, we've got enough fuel for another lap, then we'll box the car into the pits. You'll be set to Manual Controls with no Brake Assists to better modulate your fuel use.\nJust finish in the top 10.

Finish in the top 10

Excellent job. The other drivers will put in their stints now. Go get some well deserved rest.

- day 10 --

event 1 --

Philip and Luis really lifted their game. They put in great stints and we're now sitting in 3rd place. It's good, but not good enough. We're here to win.

In order to catch up, we've set the car up to have less downforce and drag, giving us more top speed.

The speed advantage should get us close to the leaders. Finish this stint 1700 yards (1554 meters) ahead of the rest of the pack.

Win this stint 1700 yd (1554 m) in the lead

event 2 --

Time to go hard. Win this stint with an average speed of 160 MPH (257 KPH) or above.

Win with an average speed of 160 MPH (257 KPH) or above

event 3 --

Bad news - the marshalls declared that we exceeded the fuel-flow limit in our previous stint and we've been given a stop-go penalty. That's my mistake, I shouldn't have gotten you to push so hard.

Let's get the penalty out of the way so we can focus on the rest of the race. Stay on the start line for 15 seconds, then win this stint. You'll be set on Manual Controls during this section.

Stay on the start line for 15 seconds, then win this stint.

event 4 --

Alright, we need to push hard without exceeding the fuel limit. Win this stint but watch your fuel use. You've been set to Manual Controls to help you regulate the fuel.

Win this stint

event 5 --

This will be our last pit stop before the final push. This will also be the last set of tyres that you'll get.

Put in a strong run and win this stint without colliding or going off-track. We don't want any mishaps at the tail end of the race.

Win this stint without colliding or going off-track

event 6 --

The engine is overheating - be careful not to push it too much! I've set you on manual controls so you can manage the engine and still win this stint!

Win this stint

event 7 --

Win this section and the trophy is ours! The brakes are fading, but you can do it - we believe in you. You're on Manual Controls and disabled Brake Assists to help you manage the brake fade.

Win the race

Great job, great job! You were spectacular out there. Congratulations! It took a monumental team effort, but we did it - we've won Le Mans!

event 8 --

As a reward, the team would like to present you with the winning car…after you do your victory lap of course.

It's time for your victory lap! Why don't you do some donuts to celebrate? In fact, why not do five! Traction Control and Steering Assists have been disabled.

Complete the victory lap and perform 5 donuts

Congratulations! From the jaws of defeat to the glory of victory…what a great PR story! You deserve to celebrate. Oh, and to enjoy your amazing LMP1 car too!
