Stage 01 (The Stakes)

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the first stage (The Stakes) are rewarded with 10,000 and 5 . Throughout the first stage, players will have to race the MERCEDES-BENZ C11 on Suzuka Circuit.

	“	Hey champ! You might not know this, but 8 days from now it's Ahmed's 28th birthday, and Michael, Eric, and I all thought it would be good to get him something from 1990, the year he was born. Which brings us to the Mercedes C11, the stand out for the 1990 GT Championship! He hasn't told anyone about his birthday, yet, so we're faking a tour for the C11, to get him hyped, and to give him a surprise. Which means we've got to act like nothing's amiss! We want you to drive the C11 for the next few days in front of Ahmed to show off just how good it is.	”

	“	Hey champ! You got here just in time–I can see Ahmed walking over. Remember, this is a "tour" to celebrate the greatness of the 1990 Mercedes-Benz C11, got it? Good! Oh hey, Ahmed!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Ah, hello. It would seem I am just in time, and have not missed anything... Though I am sure my absence went unnoticed as the eddies of time passed us by...	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Uhhhh, no, actually, we were just waiting for you! Now that you're here, let's get down to business! The C11, despite debuting at Suzuka, first competed at Monza where it took 1st and 2nd place!	”

	“	I don't understand... Yes, the C11 is pleasing to look at, and holds a, perhaps impressive, record. But why, of all cars, is this the one we're focused on today? Why so much attention to such a one-hit-wonder?	”

		— Ahmed

	“	Wow, Ahmed's really down about something... This isn't going quite how I had hoped. We've already bought the car, so we NEED to make Ahmed excited about it! Hopefully Eric's got things ready at Silverstone!	”

Stage 03 (A Second Chance)

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the third stage (A Second Chance) are rewarded with 15,000 and 10 . Throughout the third stage, players will have to race the C11 on Silverstone.

	“	Why is the tour moving through Silverstone? Wasn't the Silverstone leg of the 1990 Championship a tale of tragedy?	”
		— Ahmed

	“	If by "tale of tragedy" you mean that Sauber Mercedes didn't win, then yes... Unfortunately, one C11 was retired early, and the other was disqualified for outside assistance...	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	But today we're going to change history! That's right, now I'm a Time Wizard as well! I've set up round-after-round of recreations so we can give the C11 the flawless victory it deserved!	”

	“	But none of these feats gets around the fact that the C11 was forced to retire with engine failure... The finest engine, like the finest mind, is only as good as its lowest point.	”

	“	You're right… The C11 is an incredible car. And yet, it is hardly remembered–it flared into life only to gutter and disappear–only brought out from darkness in scant moments such as this…	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Gosh, Ahmed. What's wrong, buddy? Listen, champ, I'm going to find out what's up with Ahmed. You and Eric head on over to Spa for tomorrow, alright?	”

Stage 04 (Two Sides)

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the fourth stage (Two Sides) are rewarded with 15,000 and 10 . Throughout the fourth stage, players will have to race the MERCEDES-BENZ C11 on Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

	“	Hey, so I spoke to Ahmed yesterday, and he's a bit depressed. Not sure what it's about, just yet, but that means we've got to try extra hard to get him hyped! What better way than with the C11 win at Spa?!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Ah yes, Spa in 1990, where the Mercedes-Benz C11 came in 1st and 8th place. Where Jochen Mass and Karl Wendlinger prevailed, Mauro Baldi and Jean-Louis Schlesser fell behind...	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Still, both in the top 10? That's impressive–and I didn't even work in either crew! Granted, I was 2 years old at the time, but I think we all know even then I could tune a car with the best of 'em, right?	”

	“	I am less than impressed. For the same vehicle to place both 1st and 8th means that the proof lies in the driver, not the machine. It is the hands–hands like yours–which matter. Not the heart...	”

		— Ahmed

	“	Well, we got him to smile once, at least. I think I know the problem: Ahmed thinks the C11 was a one-hit-wonder! We've got to talk to him in a way he'll understand, and I've got just the idea!	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Sounds great! Eric, you set up what you need to, and I'll get things sorted for tomorrow. We're still kicking around Spa, so you can get a good night's rest! And where is Michael?! Ugh!	”

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the fifth stage (Results) are rewarded with 15,000 and 15 . Throughout the fifth stage, players will have to race the MERCEDES-BENZ C11 on Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

	“	Hey Ahmed, I hope you don't mind but, I called your people and I brought out some of your favourites...	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	The Zonda F? What is that lovely, sleek, beautiful... Now that I see them side by side, I can see a certain similarity between the Pagani and the C11. What trickery is this, Eric?	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Well I wanted to show you that the C11 wasn't just a one-hit-wonder! You see, in 1994, Mercedes-Benz started supplying Pagani with its V12 engines, the same engine that lives inside the C11.	”

		— Ahmed

	“	Sorry I'm late–what did I miss? Why is the Zonda F out there on the track? We're here to see the excellence of the C11, a class Group C race car, not some production model anyone with enough money can buy...	”

		— Ahmed

	“	Yeah, now you're getting it, Ahmed! So, what do you think of the C11? Wait... Where's he gone?	”
		— Michael, Manager

	“	Classic Michael... We were so close to breaking through to Ahmed, that there's more to the C11 than just its motorsports record. You're a real piece of work, you know that?!	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Hey, hey! There's no need to fight! Though, for real, Michael, what was that? Anyway... I'll see if I can get Ahmed to at least show up tomorrow, and the three of you can go and cool off!	”

Stage 06 (One Trick Pony)

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the sixth stage (One Trick Pony) are rewarded with 25,000 and 15 . Throughout the sixth stage, players will have to race the MERCEDES-BENZ C11 on Nürburgring.

	“	I've had a word to Ahmed, and I don't think his problem is that the C11 didn't go on to do other great things... But I couldn't get to the bottom of his issues, or why he's so dispirited.	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Hello, my friends! I hope you're ready for a new stage in our C11 Tour. Nürburgring, ah yes, a particular moment in the sun for our Mercedes.	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Ahmed! You seem like a whole different person! It must be the history of this place, right? In 1990, the C11 took both 1st and 2nd place in a stunning victory! That's what's put a smile on your face, right?	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	No. Rather, I am here to once-and-for-all prove to you that the C11 is not the majestic machine you purport it to be! I present the 1991 Mazda 787B, the car that brought the death knell for the C11 in '91!	”

	“	Argh! Fine! You're a fantastic driver, I cannot deny that, and perhaps the C11 is more varied and powerful than I gave it credit! I – Just – I thought it was a one trick pony, just like myself…	”
		— Ahmed

	“	What do you mean, Ahmed? You're not a one-hit-wonder, nor a one trick pony. I hope you know we don't see you like that.	”

	“	Thank you for the kind words, but I know the truth of what I am – a silly man, with no virtues beyond my wealth. I am, myself, nothing – a bank account with a jester's hat.	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Ahmed, come back! Folks, things don't look good. We need to convince Ahmed that he's worth more than, well, what he's "worth". We'll stay here for tomorrow, and Eric? I need you to get the Paganis ready.	”

	“	You're all right! The C11 didn't go downhill by evolving into the Pagani, but rather, its DNA helped Pagani find its stride and become its own entity. Success is not based on a single metric, but determined by one's own race condition!	”
