Talk:The Gauntlet (Season 9)/@comment-29799506-20161027071524

This is easier than the last Gauntlet. I actually beat boss 5 on my first run without any upgrade. On second run, I only went through boss 4 (with ~5 R$ upgrades) because boss 5 was Silverstone. On my third run, boss 3 was Silverstone with no off-track again, so I turned off brake assist and actually beat the boss, so I guess my skill had improved somewhat. I ended the run with another 4 R$ upgrades. I beat boss 5 on 3rd and 4th runs, and boss 4 on 5th run. I had to skip boss 2 on 6th run (Daytona with 1s off-track), but it was only 5GC. I finished the event in 7 runs (boss beat: 5, 4, 5, 5, 4, 3, 1), no GC upgrade.

I think if you are not a super skilled racer who always race without any assist, spreading out R$ upgrades to lower bot strength in multiple runs instead of pushing too deep in any run is a good strategy.
