FM ruined things when they made Gauntlet's random. The first Gauntlet's gave the community here a chance to help each other. Also, bragging rights meant something more. When you passed a race that others couldn't, you felt pretty good. Granted, I sometimes spent 2.5 hours on 1 race! Then, I cuold also share knowledge to help other people pass it. Now it doesn't mean anything if I beat Boss 8 and you don't. I may have had a full length Nurburgring race (reasonable track with many passing points) while you were stuck at Lugana Seca with no off-track and no-touching (good luck!).

Gauntlet's have became one of the biggest gold pigs in the game. Sure, you can win the Gauntlet car without gold, but what about all the other cars?? If you don't have at least one heavily upgraded car in each group you are going to be in trouble. So some newer players could be stuck having to buy gold upgrades on MANY cars.
