Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 6)/@comment-27554970-20160530194038

In an attempt to do this in the least possible personal time spent, I decided to do it with no retries. It took me 126 completed challenges, and 20 runs (so 126 + 19 = 145 events). 33 boss challenges won, and the farthest I got was challenge 12. No retries, no gold coins spent, no skips, no cloud restores. I did R$ upgrade the Jag as well as one of eash of the other cars (most were already upgraded).

I think that was a success. Sure, some may have won it in less total events (plus retries, if any), but I figured that the events I would have retried were the long ones (the cups or endurances), so by failing and going back to challenge 1, I had more of the quick events (speed snaps and autocrosses), and thus it didn't take as much of my personal time to get the car.

Even at the end, the regular runs were quite trivial, and while the last few boss's were marked extreme even for boss 1, they still were fairly simple to win (on the last winning run, I was 8 seconds ahead at the line).

I did try to win within a second or two of the 2nd place car, and when I lost, I lost by 10 seconds, so while Magnus may have had a faster car then I did at the end (and he did), he still slowed down for the corners so much that it wasn't hard to beat him.

I cut a few chicanes now and then on the harder boss challenges, but only when I felt I needed to.

It took me 7 days mostly because I took a day off here and there at the end for personal reasons. I never felt that I was in danger of not winning the car.
