Goro Maldanado: Welcome Octanes and lesser cars! This is the champion exams! I congratulate all of you for making this far, but know that this is where most of your “dreams'' will end. Only 8% of cars pass this exam, and less than 1% of those cars are other than Octane. But please don’t let me discourage you! We could certainly use more slaves!

ゴロー・マルダナード：オクタンと低級車ども、ようこそチャンピオンテストへ！皆さん、よくぞここまで残りました。しかしほとんどの「夢」はここで潰えます。このテストに合格する車はわずか8％で、オクタン以外の車は1％未満です。それでも、私は歓迎していますよ！間違いなく私たちの奴隷は増えるわけですから！

(Gorō marudanādo: Okutan to teikyū-sha-domo, yōkoso champion tesuto e! Minasan, yoku zo koko made nokorimashita. Shikashi hotondo no `yume' wa koko de tsuiemasu. Kono tesuto ni gōkaku suru kuruma wa wazuka 8-pāsento de, okutan igai no kuruma wa 1-pāsento-mimandesu. Soredemo, watashi wa kangei shite imasu yo! Machigainaku watashitachi no dorei wa fueru wakedesukara!)

Goro: Now let me explain the exams! Each of you have come here in a team of 3. The exam will consist of 3 vs. 1 against our proctor Takumi Shiro. 

ゴロー：ではテストの説明をしましょう。皆さんはそれぞれ３台ひと組のチームで来ています。テストは、我らが試験官タクミ・シローと3対1で行います。

(Gorō:De wa tesuto no setsumei o shimashou. Minasan wa sorezore 3-dai hito-kumi no chīmu de kite imasu. Tesuto wa, warera ga shiken-kan Takumi shirō to 3 tai 1 de okonaimasu.)

Goro: Not so easy now is it? As a matter of fact every exam from this point on will include an opponent ranked one entire rank above the exam you’ll be taking!  

ゴロー：簡単じゃないでしょう？実際、これ以降すべてのテストで、そのテストより1ランク上の相手と対戦します。

(Gorō: Kantan janai deshou? Jissai, kore ikō subete no tesuto de, sono tesuto yori 1 ranku-jō no aite to taisen shimasu.)
