Slowing bots isn't cheating, it's game playing. However, it also doesn't really work in a gauntlet. There are some techniques you can use but there is a much easier way to win the car in the a gauntlet.

I usually post a table of the number of runs you need to do at different boss levels to win the car and how many tickets you need to get there. What you need to do is work out how far you can get with the level of upgrades you put on the car and manage your runs. The key to doing gauntlets easily is knowing when to give up and start a new run.

There are a number of different upgrade strategies depending on your cash/gold reserves and in game goals:
 * No upgrades - only for those who are really broke and have a lot of time
 * R$ only upgrades - can be grinding
 * Modest upgrades - depends on your reserves
 * 100% career upgrades - maximum you really want to upgrade this car
 * Fully upgraded - only for the rich and powerful

You'll see many people posting on the gauntlet thread how far they can get with different upgrade levels and so you can plan ahead. I would advise upgrading the car as quickly as possible to the level you want and run as far as you can with the first run. Don't spend too much time retrying levels if they are too hard, just note how far you got, restart and run again.

The gauntlet gets harder with each run so you need to bear in mind you might not get as far as last time but the most important thing to remember is - quit when you have passed the highest boss level you can achieve. Don't go "I'll just have another go at the next boss level up" because you'll just waste time and tickets.

You need to plan your tickets and watch adverts to gain more. Try to end the day with no tickets and let them fill up overnight and try to race a few in the morning to ensure you never max out.
