Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 5)/@comment-26715739-20160423080312

Into my second run now and it looks like there is no "bot slowing" possible for the standard races (while winning).

Less clear on the boss races, but I'm suspecting not possible there either (Boss 1 on first run was H2H, 2nd run was Cup).

Each "block of races" (ie the ones you win points in) seems to have a set level of bots. The only way to get a lower set of bots in that level is to lose; next time you reach that level you should have lower bots.

So first time through my first set of bots were perturB etc and then went up with each boss victory. After my reset my first set of bots were LOLOLOL etc and then after the first boss win I got perturB again.

It looks like rather than do "times" they're going for a strict win/loss assessment on each block of races.

That's my experience anyway. I'll still look to only win by a smallish margin - but I don't think it's worth trying to block the cars behind you.

My personal strategy is to try to get to 50K points 3 times. 1 down, we'll see how the next goes.

Be interested to hear other perspectives.
