Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the first stage (Test Flight) are rewarded with 35,000 and 5 . Throughout the first stage, players will have to race the ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE on Silverstone.

	“	Are you ready for today? We've got an amazing opportunity to test drive one of the most anticipated vehicles of all time—at the UK's home of speed, no less! I'm so excited! The Valkyrie has been a huge project between Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing for many years now. When it was announced in 2017, I couldn't believe it! Anyway, I'm gushing too much—you've got to get out there behind the wheel, after all! You'll be doing some demonstration laps around the National Circuit to show the car to the lucky few that were able to order their own Valkyrie.	”

	“	You have been lent an Aston Martin Valkyrie. All upgrades, customizations and VIP will remain on the car permanently, whether you acquire it from this event or buy it later	”

		— Ahmed

	“	...you're driving one of the most noticeable and unique cars that have ever been made! It has a howling V12 engine!	”

		— Ahmed

	“	Hey Ahmed, about that... I've been told that we can continue with this so-called test drive with an extended loan through to the end of next week. I can't believe this! No, really—did you have anything to do with this decision?	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Natalia, I cannot confirm, nor deny anything of that sort. I will however announce that I am continuing our new tradition of staging an incredible race of road cars once more!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	That seems awfully convenient, but I'm excited to see what cars we can find this time! But this time, could you be a little bit less... abbrasive with your recruitment strategy?	”

	“	I'm glad that you've once again joined me on this adventure. Today, we'll be attending a track day at the beautiful Eifel mountains.	”
		— Ahmed

	“	I'm so happy to be back at the Nürburgring—it looks like there's a few familiar faces on-track today, too! I hope they won't need as much convincing to join the race this year...	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	I would agree with you if this was any other machine, but I do fear that Valkyries will make my invitations more difficult to accept...	”

Stage 04 
See the Valkyries Ride

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the fourth stage (See the Valkyries Ride) are rewarded with 100,000 and 20 . Throughout the fourth stage, players will have to race the ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE on Nürburgring.

	“	Watching your raw speed around the track made me think of all the lap records you're going to break during these events. And that gave me some inspiration for today's challenge! I'm sure you're familiar with the current king of the lap records, the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo. It's got a bit of history in the Eifel mountains already, alongside many other circuits around the world. Unfortunately, the 919 Hybrid Evo isn't here today, but I will be piloting an equally amazing Porsche for you to face off against!	”

The Hybrid Battle

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the fifth stage (The Hybrid Battle) are rewarded with 125,000 and 30 . Throughout the fifth stage, players will have to race the ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE on Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps.

	“	Welcome to Spa! I've been inspired by Eric's mentioning of the 919 Hybrid Evo back in Germany–although the 919 Hybrid Evo is sitting in the Porsche museum, I've managed to arrange for the next best thing to make an appearance!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	I am quite impressed by your organisational talents, Natalia! Is this an original Porsche 919 Hybrid?	”
		— Ahmed

	“	It is! I read that the Aston Martin Valkyrie engineers were targeting endurance prototype performace figures, so I thought I'd make a few calls!	”

	“	Wow! It's incredible to see how far engineering has progressed in such a short amount of time! I'm sure the lack of motorsport regulations helps, but still!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	I'm impressed with the Valkyrie's performance today—but I must say it's fitting that we organised a race against a Le Mans Prototype car... Because we will be travelling to that historic circuit for a special shakedown!	”

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the sixth stage (Sarthe Shakedown) are rewarded with 150,000 and 50 . Throughout the sixth stage, players will have to race the ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE on Circuit des 24 Heures and Bugatti Circuit.

	“	Ahmed, why France? Hockenheim was only three hours away!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Yes, you are correct, however I was given a small opportunity to make use of the full circuit! You cannot possibly deny an offer that allows a driver to experience the Mulsanne straight!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Fancy meeting you three here! I heard Ahmed was orchestrating a race with some amazing Road Cars, so I thought I'd bring an amazing car with Le Mans heritage here!	”

	“	Zoé, while the 911 GT1-98 is indeed a beautiful car, that clearly is not built for the road!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	This one is a race example, yes, but there is a road legal version... even though there is only one in existence. I obviously can't take a 1 of 1 out onto the track, so this will have to do.	”
		— Zoé

	“	Hmm... I'll give you a special exemption. The thought of defeating a Le Mans winning car is intoxicating! Additionally, it appears that my friend Magnus is on-track. It appears he has chosen a... questionable car. Could you get a closer look?	”

	“	I did invite Magnus, yes. However, it appears that our friends appear to have misunderstood my directive of "no race cars allowed"...	”

If you didn't squabble on the Sarthe circuit, I'd have had more time to sort out the car.

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the seventh stage (The Great (Sprint) Race) are rewarded with 250,000, 50, and the ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE. Throughout the seventh stage, players will have to race the ASTON MARTIN VALKYRIE on Hockenheimring.

	“	So, today's the day Ahmed's race day comes together. I don't think you'll see much of him today until the race…	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Well look who's here today! I figured I'd get in on the action this time around, in something rather familiar to some…	”
		— Michael, Manager

	“	I see you're going to try to fight fire with fire using that Agera RS? After tailing these Valkyries across Europe, I think you're going to dig deep…	”

	“	I'm sure I will. I'm not blind to the Valkyrie's remarkable performance figures. But in racing, anything can happen. What better way to position myself for that moment than to use the Agera RS?	”

	“	We've come to the conclusion that this race might just be a little too... How do I put this lightly?	”
		— Michael, Manager

	“	This race is a farce. The Valkyrie is clearly on another level, even with your lackluster skills behind the wheel.	”
		— Magnus

	“	Now, now... Let's not resort to name-calling. We'd like to propose a handicap grid layout. The... less powerful cars start towards the front of the grid, and we then space everybody else out based on their Qualifying performance.	”
		— Zoé

	“	This is unfair! I qualified on my incredible skills alone! You even tutored me, Zoé!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	I didn't want to be a voice of reason here, but I really want to see this race happen. It's clear that the only way that we can make this work is if we use Zoé's suggestion.	”

	“	Fine... It would be a shame to waste our track time any further. I should have released a new edition of my rule book.	”
