Research & Development/Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition/Quotes

==Lab .001.==
*Test .001.: Welcome! This lab is part of a larger conglomerate of test labs. One day we hope to be the biggest and best! Think you can keep up with our ambition?
*Test .002.: Adequate. You performed adequately in the last race. I do not want adequate. I want perfect. Try harder. Be better. Go faster!
*Test .003.: Lab 1, remove all other racers from the track. I want to see how this new driver works without any outside variables. Do not disappoint me.
*Test .004.: I need you back on the track, driver. Don't groan. We've no time to rest. Higher-ups have a test set up in Tenerife. We have to prepare for it.
*Test .005.: I don't want you cracking under pressure when you race through Tenerife. Team, activate test mode: Infected. Let's see if our driver survives!
*Test .006.: To survive Tenerife, you'll need to master the Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition's handling. Drifting through the streets of London will be great practice. Get going!
*Test .007.: Are you ready for this? If you fail, the higher-ups will cut our funding. You can't let that happen. Win, driver... for our sake!
==Lab .002.==
*Test .008.: Solid work, driver! Your performance convinced the higher-ups to give us a bigger budget. And more money means more tests. Let's get started!
*Test .009.: With this increased budget, we can afford to take a little "business" trip. Let's head to Rio, do a quick test, and then head over to the beach!
*Test .010.: Our tech team is looking into developing that AI you raced against in Tenerife. It just scored a killer time in Barcelona. How do you compare?
*Test .011.: We're upping the stakes now. No more hand-holding. From here on out, third isn't good enough. First or nothing. Go for gold or go home!
*Test .012.: Think I was just joking about upping the stakes? Team, activate test mode: Elimination. Let's set a fire under our driver and see how bright they burn!
*Test .013.: Our tech team is working on our AI's handling capabilities, but they need more data. Give them a show over on the Great Wall!
*Test .014.: This AI has come a long way. It just annihilated the records in Tenerife. The techies say you don't stand a chance. What do you say?
*Test .015.: The higher-ups are impressed. The tech team's AI is outperforming almost every lab, and you're outperforming the AI. Let's get ready for another test!
*Test .016.: The next test will take place in French Guiana. We'll need to refine your drifting skills. Venice, the city of curves and turns... We'll start there!
*Test .017.: The key to winning in French Guiana is Nitro management. The more efficient, the better. Remember that as you conquer the Azure Coast!
*Test .018.: This is a huge moment for our team. Passing this test will put us in the top tier of test labs in the conglomerate. Race hard! We know you can do it.
==Lab .003.==
*Test .019.: Driver, I cannot lie. It feels pretty darn nice being here, at the top. But we can't get lazy. We deserve to be here but we've got to prove it.
*Test .020.: We developed a new test mode to benchmark the Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition. Team, activate test mode: No Nitro. Let's see how you work without that added boost!
*Test .021.: The higher-ups' budget is mostly going to the tech team's AI. Show them why we on the field team matter -- by beating the AI's record in Venice.
*Test .022.: That AI is growing exponentially. Our tech team won't even return my calls. We field teamers need to improve or we'll be out of a job!
*Test .023.: The higher-ups think no human can withstand the pressure that an AI can. Activate test mode: Infected. We'll prove them wrong with this stress test.
*Test .024.: The tech team is breaking off from our lab. They think they don't need us. They've set up a test in Rio. We've got to get you ready for this showdown.
*Test .025.: We can't lose, driver. We've come too far to be tossed aside by our tech team. Keep up this training... when you've got your heart in it, you can't lose!
*Test .026.: The field team has used the last of our budget to build an experimental track. If this doesn't get you ready, nothing will. Race hard, driver!
*Test .027.: The higher-ups are watching. We lose this, we lose everything. Back to the bottom of the conglomerate. Win this for the field team! You've got this.
*Test .028.: We won! The tech team has disbanded, and the field team has never been stronger. We've set up a simple race in Dubai. Afterwards, we're partying!
*Test .029.: Clutch that e-brake, driver! We're activating test mode: Drift to see how you move that Audi R8 e-tron Special Edition through the streets of Tokyo. Good luck!
*Test .030.: What?! The higher-ups just hired our old tech team to perfect their AI. We'll be racing it in San Diego. You know what that means... Time to train!
*Test .031.: The techies now have nearly unlimited resources to perfect their AI. You have to be perfect too. Activating test mode: Flawless. Perfect. Understand?
*Test .032.: The AI is on its way to perfecting its top speed and acceleration. We need you to be better. Turn hard, and put that pedal to the metal!
*Test .033.: The higher-ups put everything into this AI. They don't think we stand a chance. But they don't know you like I do. Just do what you do best... Race!
==Lab .004.==
*Test .034.: Very impressive, driver. You've been very impressive. I am the head of the conglomerate. You work for me now. Activating test mode: Drift. Go at it!
*Test .035.: Hmmm... Satisfactory. Deactivate test mode: Drift. Try to win a classic race on the Great Wall. Our AI requires your data.
*Test .036.: Tech team... Activate test mode: Infected. Our AI has lost every high-stakes race. It must get better. Study the driver so you can defeat the driver.
*Test .037.: A number of companies have been impressed by our AI result. But no one will buy it until it can beat you, a human. More data is required. Get to work!
*Test .038.: Conglomerate Head here. The AI beat your previous record at the San Diego Harbor. You will not win. Our statisticians have made sure of it.
*Test .039.: Another win? Very unexpected, driver. Why can we not crack your code? What are we missing? How can we get our AI to peak performance?!
*Test .040.: You see these numbers the AI is putting out? Incredible. You won't stand a chance in the field test if you can't win here in Dubai!
*Test .041.: Our final field test is coming up. The AI is nearly perfect. Its showing in Iceland was flawless. Can you match this peerless performance?
*Test .042.: Our AI can perform at extremely cold temperatures that human drivers would freeze up in. How will you compare in the Alps?
*Test .043.: Our final field test is almost here. The conglomerate's final shot to make you eat dust before the buyers arrive. You will fail. I know it.
*Test .044.: This is our final field test before the big reveal to the buyers. Please lose... I beg of you... The conglomerate must sell this AI to survive.
*Test .045.: Driver, it's your friend from the field team. You have to stop the conglomerate. They have a dark secret. I'll give you more info after this test.
*Test .046.: They're developing the AI to use in military operations. We can't let our tech be used this way. Keep racing and I'll figure out some way to stop them.
*Test .047.: I've got it! They still need to sell this AI to other companies. If you beat the AI during the showdown, no one will buy it! We need to train!
*Test .048.: All the investors are flying in from all around the world. The showdown is almost here. We have to train, driver, and we have to stop them.
*Test .049.: Driver, this is the Conglomerate Head. At the coming showdown... we need you to lose. If you win... you will be dealt with!
*Test .050.: The investors are all lined up. If the AI wins, it'll be sold to the highest bidder, no matter their morals. Win this race. Stop the conglomerate!
