Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 10)/@comment-30469831-20161211063531

Finished this 3 days ago in 8 attempts. I did upgrade my 570. Figured what the heck since I got it for free after kicking but on the other challenges. Thanks to the contributors and users on here for all the tips and information on what upgrades to make to finish.

Not no to be a jerk, but I just don't understand the complaints about FM regarding this. Hey if you're good enough racer you're a shoe-in to win. Of course, a gauntlet is much easier since you can re-set and win without upgrading your car. I did the upgrades because it made it possible to win extreme boss challenges and carry more points into the higher levels, plus it's smart of FM because I hadn't even driven this car since getting it for free and now it's over 50% upgrades for me and I got the race it to win 1,000,000 r$ (plus r$ per each race and the gold too).

You'll never get 100% or even close to clearing this game if you can't win with all assists turned off or not going off track so it makes sense to me for them to make that a prerequisite for some of the races in the gauntlets, heck it seems like more than half were Hunter series anyway and those are gravy. I think it is shady for FM to make you need to upgrade the car in order to clear the challenges in the other series just so you can have a PR to enable you to even enter a cup race than anything to do with a gauntlet, but then you still get a car for "free" (plus r$ and fame for doing them). So it's a wash to me.

It's a game, play it to win. It wouldn't feel right to me to not to have to work to get the prize. I actually don't mind losing once in awhile since it feels like more of a challenge.

Again, not calling anyone out but who's giving you anything for nothing in this world?
