Another update, another Gauntlet car shows up in a LTS to win: the Carrera S. This seems to be following a trend, as both the 570GT and C-X75 have had fairly recent LTS events as well (I may be missing others that have escaped my memory). The point is, I think we may have seen the dusk of Gauntlets in general, both as new events and as flashback events. They have had many opportunities now to run one. I haven’t read their release notes or webpage, but based on these signs I predict that there won’t be anymore; in fact, I have speculated here in the discussion previously that it might be simply too complicated for their servers to try to run millions of people doing OMP, WTTT, a current special event, a flashback special event, a LTS, and career/motorsports/exclusive all at the same time. I suppose what I am trying to get at, then, is that it might be cost effective to start trying to get these cars in the LTS events they are being offered in now as opposed to waiting for another Gauntlet (as I seem to have erroneously chosen to do for the 570GT and the C-X75).

What I do seem to have predicted, at least partially, is that events like Le Mans – Pursuit of Victory were indeed too much for their servers. As we are seeing for this new update, they are only running Le Mans – Legends: Ferrari instead of the full Le Mans – Legends event as a flashback. This would seem to indicate that the event was too complex to run in its native form, and so the developers have had to reduce its complication to allow the event to run properly. Then again, it could just be that they split them to reduce the previous complaints about having to rerun the same events for different cars in quick succession. I remember a lot of frustration around Le Mans – Pursuit of Victory and the 2015 nascar special event for that reason. Oh well.... I am just glad they are rerunning the Regera and the Sesto Elemento, as I knew those events weren’t bad the first time, and so they should be (relatively) easy for me to win on my first run through these events come next update.
