Stage 01 
Norm's Autotune Garage

	“	G'day guys, guess who gets to play with some billionaire's new pride and joy? The Hennessey Venom F5 has just been delivered to us, fresh from the factory line for testing!	”
		— Norm

	“	No way! What do we need to do? Will we have to test it under race conditions?	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	No no, we're not doing anything like that. Just give it a full once over and make sure everything's where it should be before we send it over to the buyer.	”

	“	Alright, so how did we go out there today? Wait, what's the problem with you two? Why are you looking at me like that?	”
		— Norm

	“	Norm, the Venom F5 is the fastest sports car in the world at the moment. We should be letting it loose on the track!	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Now listen here, our job is to test and tune cars and that's it! There are only twenty-four of these in the world and you get to test drive one of 'em. Why can't you just be grateful for that?	”
		— Norm

	“	…	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Listen, I'm sorry. As you know, the garage isn't doing so well this year and it's been hard to keep up with all the rising costs. I just can't risk anything going wrong with this car. Let's just hope we see some extra clientele soon.	”
		— Norm

Stage 02 
An Absolutely Necessary Track Day

	“	So I've been reading through our seven-hundred page insurance contract. It says here, that if the engineering dept–that's me–deems it absolutely necessary, the car can be taken off-site for testing … I'd say that includes a track day! Let's do it! The thought of the Venom F5 just being locked up in some hedge fund manager's garage… It's just not right! Anyway! Like I said, it's perfectly legal and safe. If anything goes wrong, Norm is totally covered! And no, I haven't told Norm, I don't want to worry him. Let's just get the car back in one piece, ok? I've booked us in for a day at Indianapolis Speedway, let's see what this thing can really do!	”

	“	Excellent driving today, and that car… Wow, just wow. I wanted to extend an invitation for you to join me for a race next week… It is no ordinary race—I'm part of an exclusive club. We race exotic cars with custom rules. I think you and your Venom F5 would be a welcome addition.	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Oh! Thank you for the offer, but we aren't going to be racing this thing.	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Oh that's a shame, the club would have loved to finally see the Hennessey Venom F5 and meet a young up-and-coming racer like your friend. There's plenty of prize money splashing around as well if you win…	”
		— Ahmed

	“	I know what you're thinking, we could use that prize money to help Norm, but it's just way too risky! Think about it, what if we get caught? Or damage the car? There's no line in the insurance policy about driving in secret racing clubs! C'mon, let's get the car safely back to the shop. If we're gone too long Norm will figure out something's up.	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

Stage 03 
Welcome to the Club

	“	Hey, so you decided to come! Bravo, bravo! Come and meet some of the others.	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Is that the Hennessey Venom F5? Impressive. I've been trying to get my hands on that car for years. I heard rumours it might never come out. Where did you get it from? … Well, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to. It doesn't matter to me anyway, I'm just here for the prize money. I'm surprised you could even afford to enter… …You didn't think this would be free, did you?	”
		— Magnus

	“	Magnus! You're scaring our new friend. We race for money sure, but it's really all about fun— —There's just nothing quite as fun as the thrill of a hundred-thousand-dollar lap! But don't worry, you can always earn yourself a spot. The rules are as follows: Your qualifying lap determines your buy-in. First place gets to race for free. It's very simple from there. Every three laps the drivers who fall behind the safe zone are eliminated. You may re-enter if you lose, but with each lap, the cost to re-enter rises. At the end, the driver in first place takes the lot!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	There is no maximum bid, there are no pit-stops or repairs, so if you damage your vehicle or drive off-track you'll forfeit the race.	”
		— Magnus

	“	Let's play!	”

Stage 05 
Speed vs. Greed

	“	'F5' comes from the Fujita Scale, used to measure tornadoes—it signifies the potential for incredible damage. Which is what you've done to this two-million-dollar car!	”
		— Norm

	“	I can't believe you went off and raced in that Club Day without telling me! What were you thinking?!	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Eric, you're just as much to blame for this and now you two are going to have to fix it.	”
		— Norm

	“	The car is going to need a lot of repairs, it's not going to be cheap … And we're not covered by insurance.	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Plus, the purchaser has cancelled their order and left us with the car. Probably a friend of someone at your exclusive Club Day—didn't you know that all these rich people know each other?!	”
		— Norm

	“	There is only one solution: We need to fix up the car and challenge Magnus to a rematch, but on our own terms. He seems desperate to add the Venom F5 to his collection!	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	So you're saying that we could use the car as bait to lure him into a rematch? I don't know, sometimes you need to know when to walk away. We could just fix the Venom F5 and sell it…	”
		— Norm

	“	—Yeah, for a fraction of the price. Anyway, that's not going to save our garage either, we'll just be deeper in debt!	”
		— Eric, Auto Engineer

	“	Hmm … Do you really think we have what it takes to win?	”
