Some of the Formula E GC math is starting to come into view.

I'm guessing the LTS will require PR 53 or so to win the car. Assuming you win that, you can start calculating the net costs of upgrading and winning the Gauntlet car: costs of upgrades vs GC winnings from FE Showcase 100% bonus (30GC), FE Experience 75% bonus (19GC), net gain on 300GC for 21 sponsorships after buying the ones you need (=200GC net minus sponsorships purchased for Gauntlet car), and the Gauntlet GC itself (75GC). These are all winnigs you wouldn't have if you skipped Gauntlet.

Upgrading Gaunlet car to 333333 = 263GC, minus gains of 30+19+125+75 = 15GC net spend. (assumes Renault at 333333 and LTS car at PR 53 or higher).

Maybe I'll do the Gauntlet after all, if 333333 is net 15GC spend, or even 633333 at net spend 135GC. Gauntlet is way too much of a grind with win the R$ upgrades only, at least for me.
