Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 5)/@comment-27554970-20160427221811

So I did an experiment with the last bit of this one. I tried to do it the way it was designed, in that, if I don't win, I start over at the beginning. It wasn't that bad. I didn't do the whole thing that way, but I think I may try it next time. If I get near the end, I can always "fake" a retry with cloud save and restore, and keep track of how many gold coins I would have paid. After all, a "Gauntlet" means "to go through an intimidating or dangerous crowd, place, or experience in order to reach a goal", so I suspect it will live up to it's name without cloud saving and restoring, and no bot slowing or other tricks short of winning by small margins (aka "maintaining the gap") that is often praticed in actual racing (in my case, by slowing down early before corners once leading so I don't fall of the track, because I do have a history of falling off the track while leading). I will R$ upgrade cars (but not gold upgrade them). I'm not that good of a driver (I managed to get to challenge 18 once with many cloud saves and restores, but no further), and I drive without assists and with Tilt B no matter what the challenge. Anyone with me? Any other restrictions I need to follow to mimic those who don't read all the tricks and tips pages from this forum?
