Nope, Gauntlets are a slow grind if you stay at the lower levels. The points go up dramatically once you get the last 1/3 of the event or so (if you make it that far without restarting).

Put it this way, There are 49 challenges total, I'm on challlenge 26 (just after the Boss at challenge 25) more than halfway through, and I only have 47,770 points banked. So, in the next 23 challenges, I'll earn another 200k+ points.

This is why retsarting takes so much longer, the points earned per challenges are much lower. A post further down stated that the points you get for the last challenge are 22,700 for instance.

I've always played the Gauntlets by going as far as I can in my first attempt. I usually try to keep from spending too much in GC upgrades, but for this car, I think I'll shoot for  4322233 PR 44.6 for 44GC. A post below said they made it through in 1 attempt at that upgrade level.
