Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 13)/@comment-27123099-20180119165458

I made a similar reply on a post below, but I think it's worth mentioning as it's own, standalone comment.

I've seen numerous posts regarding the difficulty level between players who own the car vs. those who do not. While this seems a bit likely (knowing FM), I really don't think it's the case. I think it has more to do with upgrades applied.

This car has been available twice via LTS, with the same PR required both times, 86.3. To get to 86.3, one needs to upgrade to 4422222, which costs 272GC.

So, many of the owners of this car, already have the car decently upgraded, including myself. I guarantee that this made the Gauntlet easier. Especially when the complaints I see about players complaining of difficulty in the gauntlet are attempting it with R$ upgraded cars only.

Look, this is no different than any other event in this game, they want your GC. It's definitely doable at R$ only, as many others have shown. But if you want to get through in a single run, and without much drama, then upgrade the car. It's that simple.
