The number shows the average tickets required per day and the number in parenthesis shows the total number of tickets required.

For example, let's say a player can only reach boss 4 in the current (Season 11) Gauntlet before needing to restart. They would need to spend 42 tickets per day (or 295 total tickets) to reach win the car.

Compared to Season 10 and 9, Season 11 requires more tickets if only up to boss 3 can be reached but much fewer tickets if higher level bosses can be reached.

It is much worse than seasons before Season 8, since Firemonkeys reduced the relative payout of early boss races by up to 50%.

This analysis doesn't take into account the difficulty of boss races. It could be that boss races in previous Gauntlets were much easier so more points can be banked per run compared to current Gauntlets. Nice work with the table!

The point: lower rewards for low level bosses and higher rewards for high level bosses. This means that in order to finish the gauntlet quicker you need more upgrades. Play and watch ads for 8 hours/day for a whole week if you want to win the car with less upgrades - OR - fully upgrade the car (or close) to win it in a few hours. Tipical FM strategy.
