Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 9)/@comment-27554970-20161027012633/@comment-30327648-20161027071256

Yesssss. This gauntlet is designed beautifully. the FIRST attempt defines ::the player base Skill level/ PR
 * a conservative boss level would make the gauntlet enjoyable and rewarding
 * an ambitious, overreaching start would make this gauntlet painful. Frustrating. Wasted time,effort and money.
 * Progression, e.g. Points banked,is quantified by Rank 1 ,2,3 etc.
 * the boss 2 race difficulty/ PR increases. With each Rank

Boss2 pr rank5>rank4 >rank> 3 etc

BUT


 * your cars get better

Rank 4 cars pr >rank3>rank2 etc

Doing boss 1 with BMW m6 muchhhh easier than with targa


 * hence have the rank 6/7 ford/BMW fully upgraded ,is wise.
 * in this gauntlet they are very cheap in gc terms.
 * the R$ upgrades 2.5 hrs first level.
 * start first attempt with zero upgrade.
 * after 2.5 hrs by the time upgrades kick in, the races would have got harder.
 * in another 4 hrs ,the next level upgrades would kick in, helping in the increase in race difficulty.

Summary.


 * fully upgrade at least one rank 6/7 car
 * first attempt comfortable max b5/b6/b7. Critical
 * the R$ upgrades and better cars counter the increasing race difficulty.

Yesss. This post deserves kudos. Guys.
