There are also only 2 challenges in that round before the Boss race and you only have to earn 1/3 the total points overall, so I'd fully expect the 1st round to pay out a lot less points. We'll climb through those first few ranks pretty quickly I'm sure, that's not my concern.

I'm expecting this to be similar to the 2nd season of the Gauntlet (Ford Mustang GT). That season required us to bank 100k points (compared to 300k+ for seasons 1, 3, & 4). Sure, you tend to earn more points with each round for the higher level cars, but the overall length and difficulty is still driven by the total points required. At least this has been my experience.

Regardless, I already own the Vanquish, I'm running this just for the GC. Additioanlly, if it's similar to previous Gauntlet events, I'll also probably finish the event within a few days anyhow so that will give me time to prep for the Front Runner event coming on the heels of this Gauntlet season. Projecting ahead, I should have a nice GC buffer by the time Front Runner rolls around (though I hope I don't have to use it). I'm just preparing in case they pull another Generations on us and force GC upgrades.
