Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 7)/@comment-27109924-20160805052032/@comment-26829117-20160805100149

I concur, we've both taken different strategies in the past and I've notice you seem to get harder bots earlier on in the event. I think the rating is based on your cars PR vs a recommended PR (though it wasn't displayed this time). The real difficulty is still based on the AI algorithm depending on how well you manage the bots. For example, if it wasn't a gauntlet and there was an endurance race marked hard, I don't think any amount of bot slowing would change the race to easy.

I upgraded the lotus gradually because I refuse to watch adverts when I don't have to (and you told us to concentrate on the team event first so just did the gauntlet for some respite). I found all of the boss team events easy and most were marked as medium when I ran them.

It did help that I had fully upgraded cars for the other events but then these cars weren't expensive to upgrade for those that stuggled. However, some of the top non-boss events were very difficult even then. More because there was a lot of no off track and collision restrictions. I also think I got quite lucky as there were plenty of times these restrictions were on autocross and speed span events  :-D
