Stage 01 
70th Anniversary

	“	Hello, my friend! I'm glad you made it! Did you enjoy the private jet? Good, good! Well, your suffering through all that luxury was certainly worth it, for it's my pleasure to bring you along with me... ...to the 70th Anniversary for Porsche in Leipzig! It's been a glorious 70 years since June 8, 1948, when the first 356 "No.1" Roadster rolled into our hearts, and set the standards for the Porsche tradition! And to celebrate, Porsche are opening their archives to the finest drivers in the land over the next week. In a true show of generosity, they are offering the finest driver their pick of the litter!	”

		— Ahmed

	“	Uh, Ahmed? Not to rain on your parade, but I'm reading over the terms of this competition and... It sounds like there's a little more to it. Listen, champ, meet me at Le Mans tomorrow, and I'll fill you in, OK?	”
		— Natalia, Agent

Stage 02 
Paying Homage

	“	The points Ahmed forgot to mention are that Porsche is running a promotional event to celebrate their 70 years. They'll be giving away the winner's pick, judging based on racing performance and pizzazz! But the "best laid plans of mice and men" and all that... Well... It seems Porsche weren't the only ones to have this idea! Several other manufacturers have take to the tracks to show their stuff! What would I be, if not an amazing mediator, right? Well, I managed to convince everyone that a bit of friendly rivalry would be good PR for everyone. Instead of calling the whole thing off, it's in full swing!	”

		— Magnus

	“	What can I say, other than I'm excited! Two incredible cars going toe-to-toe, driven by fierce rivals, racing greats, both of them! The drama was palpable! I'll see you tomorrow for more excitement!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

Stage 03 
Taking Advantage

	“	How much money does that guy have?! Check this out: Ahmed's personally sponsored an entire leg of this competition at his home track of Dubai! He's even bought a bunch of other classic cars to throw on track!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Only the very best for my friends! And besides, I saw how excellently you drove yesterday, and I wanted to give you the opportunity to grace my home city with your thrilling heroics!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Not too thrilling, I hope. Natalia called me last night, and I made sure to fly out. This is a serious business opportunity for us, so we're going to take this seriously, alright?	”

	“	*yawn* Uh, excuse me. Nice work, champ! But, uh, the crowd seems to have drifted off a little there. I mean, it was impressive driving, obviously...	”
		— Natalia, Agent

	“	Of course they drifted off—Michael commands no flourish. No flair! NO FLAVOUR! He truly is the soggy tea bag of driving coaches... He brings none of the fire that I inspire!	”
		— Ahmed

	“	Heh, whilst I wouldn't say that to Michael's face, you might have a point there... Ahmed, why don't you take the reins tomorrow? There's one word I'd never use to describe you, it's "boring"!	”
		— Natalia, Agent

Stage 04 
Aspirations

	“	I heard what Ahmed said... He can hold whatever opinion he wants; he truly is a ridiculous man... But perhaps Natalia is right: Cozy up to Ahmed, as his antics might actually pay off if we suffer through them. Follow along with whatever nonsense he commands. Soon enough, we'll have a new car, and we can forget this whole thing ever happened. OK, here he comes. Act natural!	”

		— Michael, Manager

	“	Reckless? Or "RIDICULOUS"?! I was informed of what you said, and how you both betrayed me! How you laughed behind my back! Scoundrels! You deserve no better for taking advantage of me!	”

Desperate Measures

	“	He's right! Ah, I was such a fool... No amount of frippery, pizzazz, or flair will allow us to persevere through whatever Magnus has planned...	”
		— Ahmed

	“	On the contrary, Ahmed, I think between you and I, we're perfectly suited to coach our driver here to victory. If you handle the showmanship, I'll handle the sportsmanship. Deal?	”
