Preview "Pursuit of Victory Le Mans 2015"

Hi everyone to the preview of the "PoV Le Mans 2015"

This one is a little bit larger....

Quote:

We're starting from the back row because of our grid penalty.
Don't let it mess with your head, keep focused and start the stint well.
With our speed, we'll catch up with the lead pack in no time.
GOAL
Finish in the top six.

Good start, but it's just the beginning. Keep the laps coming and win these stints.
GOAL
Win these events

Hey, I've got my guys tracking your average speed over the race so we can analyse your performance.
The higher your average speed, the better you're driving.
I want you to win this stint with an average speed of 140 MPH (225 KPH) or above.
GOAL
Win with an average speed of 140 MPH (225 KPH) or above

You've reached a pack of back markers. Make your way carefully past them or it could ruin our run.
Win this stint without any collisions.
GOAL
Win this event without any collisions

Great job. Considering we were a hair's breadth away from being disqualified,
I'm very happy with our performance.
We almost weren't even in the race, and now we're chasing the trophy - it's been quite a journey.
It's amazing to think back to how it all began…

Hi Player. I've got something exciting for you!
How does racing an LMP1 in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for 2015 sound?
A race team contacted me, and they need a driver.

Keep an eye out for their driver, Philip Hartson. Let's see what he's made of in the warm ups.
GOAL
Win this Head To Head.

Hmmm - Hartson wasn't very impressive. Perhaps he's just a slow starter.
Win these final warm up events.
GOAL
Win these events

Their car is struggling a bit. Not a good first impression…
Let's make a big impact and finish this stint with a lead of 250 yards (228 meters).
GOAL
Win this event with a lead of at least 250 yd (228 m)

Ok, they've finally gotten their act together and Philip is hot on your tail.
Prove that you deserve a spot in their team and win this race!
GOAL
Win this event

They started badly, but still managed a strong finish.
This team has potential, and with you, they'll have the final piece of the puzzle
to seriously challenge for Le Mans!
Let's do it! Join the team and carry them all the way to victory in Le Mans!

G'day, I'm Norm, the team manager.
I've been keeping tabs on your career and I think a driver like you could help us win Le Mans.
We're a small outfit, but we more than make up for it with guts and a can-do attitude.
G'day mate. It's been a while, eh? After your performance last time,
I knew you'd be perfect for our team. We're a small outfit,
but we more than make up for it with guts and a can-do attitude.

First, I want you to meet the other drivers. You raced against Philip the other day, and our second driver is Luis Ortez. I'll be putting you through some challenges to help you integrate into the team.
Let's start with a blocking test. Don't let either Philip or Luis overtake you.
GOAL
Win this event without being overtaken

Ok, now Luis will be in front. Beat him and win this race without going off-track.
If you can overtake him within 15 seconds, I'll be really impressed.
GOAL
Without going off-track, overtake Luis in 15 seconds OR win the race

Let's have a friendly competition with all our drivers. Reckon you can win these events?
GOAL
Win these events

Let's try something different. You have one lap to win and overtake Luis five times.
That means you'll overtake him, let him pass you, then overtake again…five separate times.
GOAL
Overtake Luis five times and win

Heh, that's ripper driving. You're free to go,
but some of the other drivers are staying back to keep on testing and practising.
You've already proven your skill and talent, Player - I think some rest is merited.
We don't want our star driver getting tired from over-practising.

We don't want our star driver getting tired from over-practising.

Over-practising? That's a new one... Either way, tomorrow you'll get your hands on an LMP1.
Something to look forward to.
It's time for you to get some cockpit time in our LMP1 car.
You'll be driving it in a series of tests so you can learn its nuances.
Looks like we're not alone though. I see some other LMP1 teams coming in, so expect company on the track.

Let's get a quick run before the track gets crowded.
I want you to win this event with an average speed of 120 MPH (193 KPH) or above.
GOAL
Win with an average speed of 120 MPH (193 KPH) or above

I'd like to benchmark your performance with a Time Trial,
it will give me a good assessment of your ability. Give it your best shot.
GOAL
Complete this Time Trial

We don't want to reveal our car's weaknesses and strengths,
so I won't ask you to push too hard during testing.
The other teams look like they're holding their cards close to their chest as well.
Time to practice tire management. I've fitted you with worn tires,
so your grip will deteriorate as you drive. Oh, and skidding or going off-track will also reduce grip.
GOAL
Win this event

Fuel management will also play a role to help us win.
Whenever you can, lift off the throttle to save fuel.
You'll be set to manual controls so you can modulate your fuel use.
GOAL
Win this event

Hey, I can see that you're itching to show what you're capable of!
With all the media gathered here, why don't you finish this last test with a bang
and get press coverage for your Le Mans challenge?
Let's go get some media attention!
GOAL
Win with an average speed of 130 MPH (209 KPH) or above

Hey, didn't I tell you to take it easy? You could have given the other teams valuable data.
Don't trust their slow pace - they're not showing their true performance yet.
We'll be participating in a warm-up race before taking on Le Mans.
The other LMP1 teams will be there - you'll see what they can really do then.
G'day. I want you to take this race seriously. I know our opponents will.
We should be able to get some good data to help tune our car for Le Mans.
Don't you worry, Norm. With Player on the team, we're a sure bet!
We did so much better than everyone else during the test sessions.
Don't you worry, Norm. With my driver on the team, we're a sure bet!
We did so much better than everyone else during the test sessions.
That was a test session, Natalia...this is a real race.
Forget how we did then, we need to do well now.
Start strong and finish this stint in the top 10.
GOAL
Finish in the top 10

Wow, what a world of difference from the test session.
The other LMP1s are so much faster now. We've got to catch up.
Complete at least 2 laps.
GOAL
Complete 2 laps

We're still a ways behind and need to push much harder.
Get the speed record this lap without going off-track!
GOAL
Win this event without going off-track

We've finally caught up, but they are showing incredible speed.
They must have tuned their cars to beat the pace we revealed during the test session.
We've had to push the car extremely hard just to keep up.
The engine is close to overheating.
Any time you can, lift off the throttle to cool the engine or it will break down.
GOAL
Use manual controls to manage the engine and finish this stint in the top ten.

The car is in critical condition - even completing the race will be a miracle.
But our pride is at stake, so do whatever it takes to avoid coming last!
GOAL
Don't come last
