You are right by and large... but there are two points to consider.

i) 6 Le Mans 10-lappers = approx. 60 gold earned (assuming the Agent is used). Reducing the 5 or 6 gc spent on the Agent, the actual gain is 55 gc. It could indeed be 60 gc or even more... provided you factor in one or more of the 'bonus fame' days (say, 80% fame bonus on the day's first race).

ii) The 3 hours that you spend playing the Gauntlet (if you choose to), earns you additional 72,000 fame points (roughly assuming 400 fame points per minute of racing). This is equivalent to 10-12 gc in addition to the 55gc that the gauntlet pays.

So, the net gold gained from the Gauntlet is more like 65 gc... give or take a gc or two.

Now the question is, should you (and I) play it when we own the car already? Well, that depends on 1) whether we have the time on hand and the inclination to play... and if 'yes' to both... 2) whether we want to spend that time racing the same old 10-lapper or racing through a few exciting (albeing frustrating at times) Gauntlet challenges. :)

Cheers!
