Anyone making good progress with R$ only?

My first run ended at Suzuka. Boss challenge 6 I think (20K up for grabs). No contact, no off track usually makes it impossible enough, but just to make sure you don't pass it, there is now the fine combination of fast laptimes of the leaders and not a lot of power in your battery as well. Impossible, with my skills at least.

Car is still at R$ only on 111111. No assists, level 244, WTTT D. When you are overtaken on the straight, it's usually a sign the car is severely underpowered. I tried upgrading to 331111 and still couldn't make it beyond 3rd.

I managed to get 50K on day 1, which is justabout on schedule, but knowing you usually get scr*wed a few times and don't get as far, it looks to me like this Gaunlet requires gold upgrades. Never used to be necessary in Gauntlets, but doing short runs isn't enough anymore to reach the 350K. You'll need masses of extra tickets. That means you have to make longer runs, and that means spending gold ...
