Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 6)/@comment-27123099-20160527205027

Just finished up the Gauntlet! Won the C-X75 with just R$ upgrades also (PR 71.7, 7/28 upgrades)

I actually had a fairly easy time with this one. On my first attempt, I did run into a tough Challenge race at race 26, a 2 Lap Cup at Laguna Seca with steering pulling left, worn tires and no off-track. I tried several times with a mixture of assists disabled and I couldn't place higher than 4th. As a test, I skipped the race (17GC), and moved on the race 27 to see how tough it was. I beat that one 1st try and made it to Boss level 28. The Boss level was a 4 Lap Cup at Nurburgring Mullenbach with no off-track. Initially, I had a tough time getting to into the top 3. However, after a handful of attempts, I was able to get Magnus into some lapped traffic and made the pass at the end of the 4th lap to get the win. I then started race 29, but quit it and began a new attempt (hence why my highest level was 29). Seemed worth the GC to skip 27 IMO.

2nd attempt, I made it to level 20 (Boss 6), then I restarted again and made it to (I think) Boss 5 (race 16). This got to me 294k points. Rather than bang my head against a tough Boss race at race 20, I restarted for a 4th attempt and beat Boss 1 to get me enough points to put me over 300k.

I was playing this one pretty lazily, only spending a little time each day and I was still able to win with plenty of time to spare. Everyone should be able to win this car without too much trouble. Just make sure you make your 1st attempt count. That makes all the difference. The farther you get initially, the easier the rest becomes.

Here's my summary screenshot and a screenshot of the car in my garage as well. I was shooting for more of a British Racing Green color, but this was the closest I could get with the vinyls (not paying GC to paint it).
