Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 3)/@comment-27764376-20160210211802

I have finished The Gauntlet and won the Porsche. 4 days, 5 restarts, 98 challenges and 22 boss challenges won. I have also completed the first two gauntlets: first with 3-4 restarts and second with one, as I remember, but second one was definitely the easist one for me.

Reading all the posts and other experiences brings me to conclusion that it is mostly luck that deicides how will any of the gauntlets turn out for any of us. FM say that those challenges are random, but I don't really believe that. There is some system for getting events, and it seems to me that it is not created too well. Winning bot's time can be almost identical in races with cars that have drastically different PR, and in different ranks. And different players had different difficulties in same challenges. I have passed 4 lap Indianapolis speedway boss challenge without any trouble at all: I was driving inside the curves and after second one I was in 1st place, while I have read that many of other players had a very hard time winning it. (my car is fully R$ upgraded, no GC upg). When it comes to cheating, in almost every race I saw bots flying over grass with all 4 wheels on it, and fulll speed. Also, the bots drive cars with (much) better PR than we do most of the time.

Restarting the gauntlets makes challenges somewhat easier, but they do get harder after every restart. Also, with restarting, you need to beat Magnus more times then if you're doing it in one turn.

Gauntlets can be quite frustrating for some, but also quite easy for others. And as I see it, it depends mostly on FM "randomized" luck. However, they are possible to win so far, with more or less hardness and frustration.
