Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 8)/@comment-26388545-20160910030838

With zero upgrades I have had 2 BOSS races that were rated EXTREME. However, the races were a joke! Magnus was a hair faster than me on the straights, but slowed down big time for the corners. I had to slow down a lot for him to catch up. I am doing stage 1 upgrades, they just haven't been applied yet.

Bot slowing seems to be working. I had a hunter event where the goal was 22m. I cut it too close when slowing at the finish line and came in second. I crashed the app and restarted it. When I entered the race again my goal was -13m.

The only new challenge  I've seen so far is decreased acceleration. I will take that over steering that pulls randomly left or right any day!
