Stage 01 (A Lesson in Philosophy)

Players who successfully complete all of the goals given in the first stage (A Lesson in Philosophy) are rewarded with 5 . Throughout the first stage, players will have to race the LOTUS TYPE 125 on Circuit de Catalunya.

	“	Greetings, my friend. It is very good to see you again. I've brought you here to Catalunya for a very special treat... I have here, not just one, but a veritable fleet of the amazing Lotus Type 125s! Lotus and I, we share a passion - a kindred spirit. Many believe the essence of speed is in the presence of power. But Lotus proves, definitively, that it is the absence of weight that brings real speed. Now how about we have some fun, yes? I'm sure your crew won't mind us spending some time with this beautiful chimera - so close to the real thing, and yet unique and apart from it forever!	”

	“	You have been lent a Lotus Type 125. All upgrades, customizations and VIP will remain on the car permanently, whether you acquire it from this event or buy it later.	”

Ah, I'm sure he's overreacting again - he never wants anyone to have fun, only business. But no business today - just excitement! Poetry on wheels! We're are here at Monza to experience the lilting music of the Italian countryside... I hope we can hear it over the roar of our engines!	”
