Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 8)/@comment-27554970-20160913070735

At 250,000 points, and am really happy with my strategy of quitting race 10 before the green light and ending the run. I did 2 runs to race 18 and one to 14 before I gave up on the harder bosses. I do cloud save before every race, and I've had to retry or restore a few times (using the trick of doing something else after the lost race to work around the new feature that won't restore a save when the only difference is one gauntlet failure). I have 4 days left to race and only need 4 runs through boss 2, so I only need 10 runs a day (1 through 9 and quit immediately on 10).

The non boss races have been very easy in the R$ upgraded non-boss Porsches. I'm trying to finish each night with a boss run followed by servicing the boss car, which allows me to do the start/quit and first four runs during the day here and there (lunch, mostly) in about 10 minutes and then service the non-boss car. So in the evening, I have 10+ runs which starts with Boss 1 and ends at some Boss race or the other.

The R$ upgraded boss runs are all marked "Extreme" now, but I'm mostly still waiting at the finish line for Boss 1. There have been a few Boss 2 runs that have been challenging lately, so I think I'm ready to give up on Boss 2 and just quit race 6 consistently. It's less about whether I can beat Boss 2, and more about the time it takes to retry the Boss 2 race until I win. After all, Boss 1 gives you over 16,000 points and Boss 2 only gives you 13,000 more points. Sure, it's a race quicker, but I have plenty of tickets, so it's just a matter of personal time now, and thus an average of more than one retry per Boss 2 makes it not worth my time to go that far, and I'm probably at that point now.
