Talk:The Gauntlet - Season 3/@comment-26580830-20160206023757

Given that you had originally 9 days to complete this, this Challenge is more about how much you are willing to gamble that you'll get to the Porsche 911 RSR (2015) at the end, before you run out of ability to win the challenges? Something to bare in mind is that if you don't do that last 2 Engine and last 1 Drivetrain GC upgrades and still get the car, then it will have cost you less in GC than the showcase price (and its nicely upgraded to boot!). Of course you'll need ~R$3M for the cash upgrades. So is seem to me that I need to decide whether I think I'll win enough points with 23/27 upgrades?

Given that the Boss races even the first time through are tough and need upgrades I'm not convinced I'll be able to do that. (And none of that includes the cost of upgrading the support cars.)

What this means is that my plan is to push through the first pass until I need GC upgrades, "end" that pass and see how the Boss races shape up for the second pass through. If I still need GC upgrade at the beginning I'll probably bail on the whole thing and buy the car at the shouwcase when I get there (I don't really need al those upgrades.)

It is important (for me at least) to remember that you are not required to run the Gauntlet so if its not worth it don't bother.
