The new special event system (Currently the new Gauntlet) has been considerably revamped. It actually has nothing to do with what we're used to. Which could be welcoming for those, bored, who seek new things. It actually has more to do with the special event we find in Need For Speed (No Limit), based on several races to win, to earn points.

There are several ranges to reach. At the end of the final range, the new car is awarded.

Each range/level requires more points to earn.

For the Gauntlet special event, the events seem all unlocked, as long as you can progress. For the moment, the only thing that stops me right now is the servicing of my cars.

Events are chosen randomly (so do not expect to find tips on how to achieve a race :-p ). There is a dedicated list of cars which the user can chose among to race one or the other. That, till the list of cars is updated at the next range/level. You only drive the car-to-win on special races against the Boss (Magnus)

Each selected race is evaluated according to the selected car on difficulty level (as in Need For Speed): Easy-Medium-Hard-Extreme. So we can certainly expect that at a certain point car upgrades will be required to progress (as in Need For Speed).

I also noticed 3 or 4 blue tickets (as in Need For Speed) when starting the event, but so far they have not been used in any sort.

Sorry, I don't have snepshots to illustrate (they would be in French anyway :p ), maybe there'll be a dedicated page on the wiki for that. I was just giving my first impression and feedbacks. But so far, I kinda like this new way of challenging.
