You are at the wheel of either a Ford Focus RS or a previous-generation Nissan GT-R (the R34), sitting at the starting line of the Nurburgring, waiting to get off the line and see how fast you can reach the finish. Just before you go, a MINI pulls up to you, the window comes down and the driver asks if you want to make a bet.
