Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 6)/@comment-26388545-20160602192350/@comment-2.216.146.147-20160603070731

My experience is similar to Michael's. I went into this challenge with all rooster cars R$-upgraded, with the exception of the McLaren 650s. I had more than enough reserves to upgrade the Jag to 3/4 everywhere, but once I saw that repeating boss 1 was enough, I stopped at just R$-upgraded.

I did it in 6 runs (yes, 6): After an attempt, I knew I'd easily beat this with either condition, but both were very trick. Tried twice more and, since I already had banked 1/3rd of the total, decided to restart.
 * Run 1 ended in challenge 10 (boo me): crash 5 windshields and win the race. Given the track was Indy speedway for a single lap, I ended the run.
 * Run 2 ended in challenge 23: 1 lap silverstone international, win with no off track and worn tyres.
 * Run 3 ended in challenge 20 (boss). 3 laps no off track at Silverstone National. Now the issue was lack of talent. I could only match Magnus' lap times, so I restarted.
 * In run 4, I made it again to boss 20. This was Laguna Seca, 2 laps, no off track.

At this point, which was day 4 or so, I was 54k points away from the Jag. I decided I'd rather bank the 24k over spending 2h more on this gauntlet, so I skipped the boss, and restarted again. I could have done it in run 5, but decided again to restart after Boss 3 to have 3 trivial races.

So overall I found this less difficult than previous gauntlets because the initial bosses give a bigger share of the total price, plus the total time is longer.
