Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 11)/@comment-27006659-20170110004014

I'm playing around with the numbers, and I can see a case for paying to skip boss levels, instead of upgrading the car, or playing an interminable amount of races. I simply can not get past race #18, Boss 5 with my current PR38 1111111 (maxed R$ upgrades).

Upgrading to 3333333 will cost $948,300 263GC, which should get me past boss 6 and 7, but I bet boss 8 will need more gold. With $94,690 banked points, it'll cost 75GC to skip boss 5 five times, which is all I need to reach $350,000 (94,690 + 52,600*5 = 357,600). Or pay to skip boss 5 four times, to get to 305,000 and then finish up with a run to boss 4, and boss 2. Either way, you get the point.

So 75GC vs 263GC $948,300

And as far as PR goes, I own the Z.E.16 at PR50.1, and I'm already at 79% in Formula E Showcase. It looks like 78% is possible on Formula E Experience with my  Z.E.16  plus two other e-cars at  PR38. I'm already resigned to not getting 100% on either of those series due to the excessive costs.
