You can usually run the Gauntlet and win the car / rewards without upgrading. You just need to adjust your strategy accordingly and it might take a little longer. What you need to do is be pragmatic. The first time you run, see how far you can get. Don't put too much effort into retries and restart once you are confident you can go no further without upgrades. Now look at your strategy and decide when one you can use. If you get to boss level 8 on your first run then two level 7 runs will complete the gauntlet in under three days without watching any adverts for ticket.
