Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 5)/@comment-80.110.99.14-20160422022056

So let me get this straight: Each race attempt (win or fail) costs 2 tickets, so force close method is far less useful now than it used to be (it can still save you from having to start over, but each new try costs you 2 tickets regardless). You can only ever have a maximum of 20 tickets. Therefore, you can only ever attempt (win or fail) a total 10 races (including boss races) in the Gauntlet per RR3 sitting before you run out of tickets. If you then don't want to pay gold or watch ads, you then have to wait 30 minutes per ticket to refill, which means you can only attempt 1 race per hour, or wait 10 hours to attempt the next 10 races and so on. Looks like Firemonkeys are making the Gauntlet harder with each season. On the pro side, you can skip races if you get a particularly nasty combo (like no touching cars on Porsche test track or Melbourne) for a couple Gold.
