Talk:The Gauntlet - Season 3/@comment-27048451-20160126211806/@comment-26715739-20160127103708

Gauntlet 2 let you compete if you'd already bought the car (some people apparently bought during the "new in this release" section without realizing they could get it free, which was pretty cheeky of FM) - but IIRC it only gave R$150K as the final reward.

I'm a bit cynical about this stuff, but given the payout for that, and the payout on Le Mans, if you somehow miss out on the car I wouldn't be surprised to see a payout like R$1M. Of course I'll still race, because you'll have the tier rewards and, you know, racing!

I think something in the range of 100 gold would probably be fair for people who have already bought the car.

Retro rivals is the only other one I'm aware of where lots of people would have had the car - that was 35 extra (over and above the 45 from the event).

35/210 is 1/6, so 1/6 of 670 is a bit over 100, so yep 100 as a minimum would be fair (150 probably more reasonable).

I only bought the 2015 911 just after Christmas - but I'm not _too_ upset that you can now get it free. I had managed to farm during the crazy ad spree quite well, so now have enough gold to get everything I need for 100%. But still holding off on the last 2 cars, you know, just in case there's a sale.

So the fact I've already bought it means I'm that much closer to 100% because it let me get through and finish Racing Spirit, McLaren Generations and Campianato Scuderia Ferrari and lots of other series. I'd been sitting there farming Le Mans all the time, making no real progress in getting extra series complete, just farming, farming, farming.

So yes, that's 536 gold I could have used in a future release, but it's an "opportunity cost", and I feel like I've made decent use of the opportunity.
