⚔・gauntlet

[nova kayak]

even CCGS would work wonders lol

(not literally but you get the idea)

[sharp nebula]

what's the better gauntlet store investment then?

(besides devel)

[burnt dagger]

depends upon each players tbh

imo

[nova kayak]

Devel x 9X8

get Devel key then spend one's income across both cars at the same time

[sharp nebula]

yeah that's the logical thing

but for anyone in div 4 who doesn't wanna move up yet the 9x8 is the best choice objectively

alternatives are not as good

[proper kite]

N/918 was clowned upon in Clash even if both would work in Clash, solely because they're LS cars

Dunno why 9x8 getting different treatment

[nova kayak]

^

[proper kite]

Lykan/Tushek are better investments than 9x8 after Devel

[sharp nebula]

I wouldn't treat the 9x8 like a ls car

[burnt dagger]

which IE was in clash store?

[proper kite]

I mean N my bad

[proper kite]

but it is

High level sure but it still is

[sharp nebula]

it's at like level 41 and only for tc

you can probably gold your devel before you'd max it from LS

[proper kite]

Yeah but lykan NE/Tushek would be more useful in Gauntlet than 9x8 if we're building for gauntlet

Legit terrible advice

[nova kayak]

Actually true

[sharp nebula]

neon isn't all that for someone who has the ultima

and needs those epics badly

[burnt dagger]

they were clowned upon cuz:
they werent of the same calibre of the 9x8 as well as they are OG cars in LS

9X8 needs GL-45 compared to both N and 918 being something around GL14-17

[proper kite]

same with 9x8 and 007s/vanda

[sharp nebula]

atp just go devel for a similar price

except 9x8 is dirt cheap in comparison

[eternal ether]

Then I should go in division 5

[sharp nebula]

and actually useful in mp if they keep this "wonderful" starting in gold IV system

[burnt dagger]

Tushkek is so unimpressive imo
it would lose to divo easily
i dont think it would be better than pur spot in anyway

except for maybe initial accel

[proper kite]

Yes that's the whole point, Devel 1st, other S cars after

[proper kite]

And 9x8 would lose to all S class

Legit you guys defend an A class so bad

[sharp nebula]

if you're around gl41 and higher and want the 9x8 for tc instead you're likely past using neon/tushek

[proper kite]

Pur even with its floppy accel would give 9x8 a hard time in so many maps

[proper kite]

Sure but why wouldn't a low GL player get some S cars?

[sharp nebula]

9x8 is better in some specific tracks relatively speaking

what's the s class selection for div 4?

[proper kite]

wdym

[sharp nebula]

if it's just torino and saleen why bother with those

[proper kite]

you won't stay div 4 forever

[sharp nebula]

if you're in div 5 go devel

[proper kite]

investing in 9x8 because a player is div 4 is also boring

you need 1 year to gold it

most likely div 5 by then

[sharp nebula]

9x8 needs like 4 months lol

[proper kite]

well 4 months from div 4 to div 5 is achievable

[burnt dagger]

it might not lose to all class-s in gauntlet
and not everyone have every class-s car

[proper kite]

honestly it's not a wise investment

[proper kite]

you need every

[sharp nebula]

you can switch to div 5 even halfway and spend on devel primarily + scraps on 9x8

but you can't just hold 100k+ currency in div 4 forever

[proper kite]

better spending those scraps on the other S cars

[sharp nebula]

and in that scenario 9x8 is definitely the best of the bunch

[proper kite]

a better investment long term, and the game/garage is long term

[burnt dagger]

i dont have battista unlocked
vanda is 4⭐, 911 gt3 rs is 1⭐

what car do u suggest me for railroad bustle?
also other tracks like Hell vale

[sharp nebula]

everyone has their own opinion

I just shared my two cents

[proper kite]

well obviously

[proper kite]

No invencible?

legit cheap boost

while keeping for exclusive cars

[burnt dagger]

invencible isnt comparable much to 9x8 tbh
i have the epics but its stock due to the fact i dont have much credits

[proper kite]

invencible would do you a lot if your garage consists of a 4* vanda and 1* gt3rs

[burnt dagger]

i was saving credits for class-s cars tbh like agera rs till now

will have to plan out differently something

[proper kite]

news flash 9x8 also needs credits

😛

might as well spend them on what you currently have at max

[burnt dagger]

but can get better results as well

[proper kite]

if your garage is 4* vanda and 1* gt3rs

invencible would do good against your competition

9x8 legit overrated

also you sandbag no?

that's even more reasons to not go for 9x8 first

[burnt dagger]

only first 5 days
remaining 3 days i will rankup

[proper kite]

well then

3 days of gauntlet, in like 1 race out of 5 where you would 9x8

is that worth the cost?

meanwhile king of the entire game at your fingertips

• a couple S cars that do a lot better than 9x8 in more maps

[burnt dagger]

how much better gold-invencible for gauntlet than 3 epics 600lt & 7 epics puritalia? 🤔

[burnt dagger]

of course im spending on Devel first, thats a no brainer for me tbh

[proper kite]

both useful imo

invencible accel really good

can be a quick extra car for you

[sharp nebula]

or just focus on vanda

[proper kite]

if you already have these cars, you don't need 9x8 in div 4 and sandbagging

and by the time you get 9x8, you probably div 5

[sharp nebula]

5* will set better times in general than invencible

[proper kite]

gemera and likes will just dab on 9x8

[sharp nebula]

gemera and likes also dab on tushek and neon

[burnt dagger]

the problem here is, most class-s cars except battista struggle on Railroad Bustle

[proper kite]

true, however tushek and neon dab on 9x8

[eternal ether]

I dumped all credits to gold it

[sharp nebula]

on railroad 9x8 can do 18.1, vanda 18.2

so similar

[proper kite]

there is a fair share of long-ish maps

[burnt dagger]

Pur Sport Dabs on Tushkek

[burnt dagger]

whalien 👽

[sharp nebula]

you wouldn't use 9x8 on long maps

[burnt dagger]

🐳

[proper kite]

great, 2 cars that dab on 9x8

[sharp nebula]

and by the time you make tushek or neon high enough stars to be usable you'll have miles better options in your garage

while 9x8 still shines on la boca, railroad and namba park

[proper kite]

devel beats it in laboca

[sharp nebula]

at the bare minimum

[proper kite]

so u would be buying devel already

[sharp nebula]

yes

[proper kite]

so that's 2 maps left for 9x8

for the investment, not worth it

[burnt dagger]

i already have devel key and devel is my main priority

[proper kite]

railroad and namba also not unbeatable there

[sharp nebula]

namba it's basically unbeatable

except maybe great jkab run

[burnt dagger]

battista?

[sharp nebula]

but don't even mention that

[sharp nebula]

no

[eternal ether]

@nova kayak and @proper kite and @burnt dagger
Is it good for division 5

[burnt dagger]

how? any 9x8 lap im missing to know about?

[sharp nebula]

9x8 one of the two cars that can go sub 20 there

or at least I haven't seen anything else do it

[burnt dagger]

gemera has 0:20:033

[sharp nebula]

tushek or neon won't do 20 for you

maybe in a year and few months when you finally max them

[proper kite]

realistically,
these are the maps where the S gauntlet cars do better than 9x8
the tunnel
rockey valley
ghost ships
free fall
leap of faith
water run
out of center
ice breakers (?)
future fusion
rocketing to the future
urban rush (?)
waterslide whirl
king's revival
trainspotter
twister (?)
paris of east
double roundabout
tunnel sprint
bridge to bridge
hairpin finish
straight spin
along the seine
notre dame (?)
riverine (?)

9x8 left with like 3 maps

BA , Osaka

Caribbean

maybe gzira island too

and the NY oines

[sharp nebula]

gezira devel and f5 clear

[proper kite]

still less than usefulness of lykan/tushek

[proper kite]

i mean lykan/tushek vs 9x8

[sharp nebula]

.

[proper kite]

but yeah

since u have devel

[burnt dagger]

Tushkek rotting in my garage ever since 2024 Summer BOS

BOS supremacy 🔥 /not-serious

[proper kite]

no need for 9x8 in gezira

[sharp nebula]

4 months on 9x8 vs over a year on those is a big difference

[proper kite]

4 months assuming what

top ? finish

[sharp nebula]

you buy 12bps every week

which really isn't that expensive

[proper kite]

thats the shop only aspect

but you have to calculate income of

[burnt dagger]

honestly sandbagging the gauntlet and just getting the gloves each day can get almost 30k easily

[proper kite]

if you sandbag

you don't need 9x8

if you don't

you still don't need it

😅

after clearing the S cars sure

[sharp nebula]

you can make that argument for any car

[proper kite]

as a bonus

[eternal ether]

Here

Here

[proper kite]

true but

the only difference is those S cars have more use

[sharp nebula]

use where

[proper kite]

you have a lot more options to pick from to use those cars when you're going to climb the last 3 days

[sharp nebula]

devel has more use

[proper kite]

devel is #1 that's out of equation

but for NE/tushek vs 9x8, the usefulness of the first 2 cars is better

[sharp nebula]

neon is useless in gauntlet until gold

[proper kite]

so is 9x8?

[sharp nebula]

tushek you can maybe make argument

but still

how many tracks for it

and how long will you wait for it

by that time you'll want cars that are close to records

[proper kite]

by that time also you would be buying 9x8 from LS

[sharp nebula]

and the 9x8 provides that even if on like 3 tracks

[proper kite]

so now you have

2 more cars

and 9x8 from a different source

it's not like they'll never reach the GL required

[burnt dagger]

the main problem with this comparison here is that:

in the tracks 9x8 dominate, there are lesser competitors and is also an easier to use car for casuals

in the tracks lykan neon/tushkek better than 9x8, there are other better cars like regular Chiron, pur sport(Against tushkek) and even devel

[sharp nebula]

but you have to calculate the income of

how much do they cost

[proper kite]

it doesnt matter

because devel needs a year

and the scraps aren't enough for any other car

so why not gold that first

[sharp nebula]

[proper kite]

and then work on the S cars

and work on 9x8

do you even read?

[burnt dagger]

anyway, im going to #📅・events for some touchdrive slander

[proper kite]

or u just wanna reply with same sentence for the sake of t

[sharp nebula]

this depends on placement ig

[proper kite]

why not work on gauntlet exclusive cars while obtaining the LS car from LS?

[sharp nebula]

10 devel bps are 40k

[proper kite]

why waste all for a car you will eventually get from LS

[sharp nebula]

in div 5 earning more isn't difficult

[proper kite]

and a not very useful one in that

if you want bad choices go ahead but it's seriously not worth it

[burnt dagger]

honestly all of them were BOS cars, so their accessibility kinda makes me confused

[proper kite]

sure but now that they're in gauntlet

they're no longer worth tokens if they come back

i'm not going to spend on a devel for tokens for example

[sharp nebula]

maybe you're underestimating a little how long it actually takes to reach that level

[sharp nebula]

this

[proper kite]

same with you and golding 9x8 vs the performance you get from it

[burnt dagger]

im playing since january 2024 and im still in GL-35

[proper kite]

not like golding 9x8 is a 1 month work

everything in game is long term

[sharp nebula]

so you're div 5?

[burnt dagger]

yes

[burnt dagger]

^^

[sharp nebula]

[proper kite]

actually you know what, please do go 9x8 and come in my lobby

[sharp nebula]

just focus on devel then

[proper kite]

i'd be happy taking those streets

using actual cars

[sharp nebula]

whats the point in discussing in that scenario

save the scraps for epics

[proper kite]

epics that cost more than zagato

despite it being lower

[sharp nebula]

do some streets with the neon then we'll see

[burnt dagger]

the discussion was everyone here who might make up a decision for it tbh

[sharp nebula]

because I do that and it's not pleasant

[proper kite]

gladly

yes

the diiscussion helps people consider their choices

if one wants to go 9x8 or even Project Evo

in the end it's their choice

but both arguments from both POVs have to be presented

[sharp nebula]

sure

let's just leave it here there's enough conversation for everyone to decide

[burnt dagger]

honestly, what im gonna say next might actually make both of u feel like a waste of time discussion, but my lykan neon needs 13 BPs for 5⭐, so some scraps left over after Devel, i will focus on those 13 BPs of neon, as well, i want to unlock all the class-a blueprint cars in gauntlet store bare-minimum at least as well

[proper kite]

ye i'm already hungry i gotta go

i'll slander something else later

[burnt dagger]

https://youtu.be/1DFypYHoK68?si=uZfLDx-gQ2Eq7SaD&t=53

damn i had just came across this video 😨

the speedtail laps in this video 😨

[junior mountain]

Dang this guys was in my division 4

he didn’t play much or he would cook

[orchid ridge]

for some reason their division is different
9x8 is div 4
zagato is div 3

[proper kite]

Shop is weird, the bps cheaper than zagato but eips more expensive

[orchid ridge]

wondering when shoul i advance into div 5

[warm sapphire]

When you have all the cars maxed except the cars which are allowed in div 5

[orchid ridge]

what

that 'd take forever

[wise latch]

Once you have 5 cars for ts tracks and 5 cars for twisty ones

And also 420m credits ig

[amber patio]

When you have 4-5 decent cars. Like vanda, 9x8, pur sport, Battista, chiron, speed tail all maxed i suppose
At least you can fight, if you've skills

[warm sapphire]

I mean the cars which are available in guantlet store

[willow crown]

soon™

[dull grotto]

Congratulations

[cobalt gyro]

Wish I stayed in div 4 before gauntlet was released now I'm barely able to get top 100 in div 5

[nova kayak]

Yes

[eternal ether]

Then I should upgrade cars and enter in division 5

Thanks

[nova kayak]

Get 150K first

then upgrade for D5

[eternal ether]

112k rn

[cobalt gyro]

Have u seen the cars in div 5 that lineup won't have a chance

[cobalt gyro]

Ibr stay div 4 until u get like more than 300k or 400k gauntlet coins cause if u go div 5 with those cars ur gonna be lucky to get top 100 which means u will barely get 20k gauntlet coins per gauntlet

I got 94th last gauntlet with these cars

[nova kayak]

Have you seen a D5 lobby?

Or have you looked at a few random pics from this server (and/or Reddit) and said "D5 is hard!" ?

[tranquil pecan]

9x8 great car for gauntlet , worth investing at the end of the day

🌾

[nova kayak]

I have seen some very humble D5 line ups

Not everyone has Absolut, Devel, Tarta, F5 and Bolide

[tranquil pecan]

That’s what makes 9x8 more dependable , high chances of getting at least one track where it’s good / can help against attacking people

[nova kayak]

No

9X8 is a horrid suggestion lol

Why go 9X8 when Tushek, for example, is more useful?

[tranquil pecan]

Tushek ain’t even that useful , pur sport can be its replacement which was free and easy to get

[nova kayak]

Not everyone has Pur Sport bro

[tranquil pecan]

The tracks where 9x8 dominates is solely because of 90 accel and tight drifts

[nova kayak]

Tushek is a good substitute for it

[tranquil pecan]

Tushek can’t provide that

[nova kayak]

It can

[tranquil pecan]

Not as close as 9x8 does

[nova kayak]

the 9X8 glaze is crazy

[tranquil pecan]

Otherwise it would dominate tracks like la boca

If it were to

[nova kayak]

Not very car works on every track

Ok 9X8 beats Tushek on La Boca

who cares

[burnt moss]

I’m in div 5 and I can confirm even top 50 lobbies aren’t as hard as you may think

[nova kayak]

that's 1 track

out of 60

[tranquil pecan]

That’s the point , but why is 358 kmh car so useful there ? It’s purely accel + handling combo

[nova kayak]

or something

[tranquil pecan]

Hell vale , namba park , roman byroads

There’s like 10 tracks where 9x8 can do great

[nova kayak]

Huracan is ok for Namba

9X8 on tumble sounds bruh

[tranquil pecan]

Huracan does barely 21 low

9x8 19 high barely

Huge difference

[nova kayak]

By the way

are we talking aliens or average players?

[nova kayak]

and S class does it better

[tranquil pecan]

Garage pov mostly and even with average players 9x8 is beneficial

[nova kayak]

😭

bro

[tranquil pecan]

But your assumption takes into account that people would have those S Class cars , so if they have everything then why bother with 9x8?

[nova kayak]

There's no reasoning with this

[nova kayak]

A garage like this for example doesn't need 9X8

[tranquil pecan]

If you got tart , abs , gemera , czinger , devel etc , why would you need to rely on 9x8 anyway

[nova kayak]

it can work well without it

On top of that

you spend on 9X8 and Gauntlet is removed, where else can you use the car?

Nowhere

At least Tushek (sorta) or Neon can help you in MP1

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah but they aren’t quite useful either , Tushek at least lol , neon yeah

[nova kayak]

9X8 is useless in comparison though

You can't deny it

[tranquil pecan]

For gauntlet nope , otherwise yes

[nova kayak]

All-rounders are better than single-users

[cobalt gyro]

What cars did u use to get top 50

[nova kayak]

Pick your opponents carefully

[brave jungle]

Good point, better get a car can use at Gaunlet n MP

[tranquil pecan]

Depends , if you already have too many all rounders , you’d like to maximise the cars having highest potential in certain aspects

[cobalt gyro]

I played in 3 div 5 lobbies so far and the best place I could get was in the first gauntlet when I got 67th

Maybe I just have a worse lineup cause my best cars have pretty mid/low acceleration which is bad for gauntlet

Like victor aventador j

[burnt moss]

Just stuff like ultima, huracan, 007s, zonda etc

[cobalt gyro]

007s would be so useful but the last hunt that had was like a year ago right when I started playing asphalt 9 back then

[tranquil pecan]

A garage like this will heavily rely on a 9x8 if he had it but anyway , this is heading nowhere

[outer sphinx]

It would take a player arround 1 year to max the 9x8
If he buys bp alongside of devil
And he constantly
1.Gets all daily gauntlets
2.maintains top 25
3.goes to master league

In div 5

[nova kayak]

"if he had it"

starting on it now is a waste of resources really

[outer sphinx]

Takes 1 year just to max alongside devil leave golden

[nova kayak]

Again up to each player but 9X8 is a poor investment

And I leave this

[tranquil pecan]

Also 9x8 can help you through plat 3 to 1 likely , now that mp has changed format , making it more usable than a Tushek

[outer sphinx]

Tell which is a good investment

[nova kayak]

?

[outer sphinx]

After devil

[nova kayak]

bro

[burnt moss]

😔

[nova kayak]

[outer sphinx]

Any idea

[tranquil pecan]

People stay in plat for most duration of mp1

[nova kayak]

He ain't go give up this glaze 💔

[tranquil pecan]

Progression to LL is in last 4 days

[nova kayak]

He like me n Devel fr fr

[tranquil pecan]

9x8 after devel easily

[nova kayak]

Personally:

Get Devel key then split your Gauntlet income between Devel and Tushek or Lykan Neon blueprints

[bold sorrel]

or be like me and grind for f1lm

[atomic notch]

Tushek is pur sport clone

[nova kayak]

Not everyone has Pur sport

[nova kayak]

I mean

that works too lol

[atomic notch]

Not worth anyways

[tranquil pecan]

If you don’t have pur sport then sorry bro , you ain’t even gonna max Tushek in years worth of grind 😭

Any active player would’ve unlocked and at least 5* pur

[atomic notch]

Devel, f1lm and lykan neon are the best in gauntlet shop

[sharp nebula]

this whole conversation again

[nova kayak]

Yeah

gonna be a regular

[sharp nebula]

and people thought clash drama was bad

get ready for gauntlet store drama

[nova kayak]

eh

I mean

at least these convos are humble

[bold sorrel]

🤣

everyone was fighing btw jesko and agera
i was grinding the idr 💀

[atomic notch]

Me too. Now i have golden idr, 650s, and agera but no jesko key

[tranquil pecan]

My investment in gauntlet store is pretty heavy , demands top 3 in division 5 mostly to be able to get all the resources that I plan on

[nova kayak]

Surely you have Vanda no?

Genuinely curious

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah

[cobalt gyro]

Maxing 9x8 is gonna be way more useful and easier and quicker than tushek or lykan neon especially if u don't have the key for either bro

[tranquil pecan]

But when you aim for top 3 , you need to have best cars placed everywhere which are possible for those tracks

[nova kayak]

Quicker? Yes
More useful? Objectively no

Again up to each player

By the way

[cobalt gyro]

125k for neon key is almost the same as devel key

[nova kayak]

Tushek is a BP car

[cobalt gyro]

It would take as long to max devel basically

[eternal ether]

Then skill issue

[nova kayak]

Your aim is Top 3 so discussing what cars are good for average players from a T3 POV is pointless

[cobalt gyro]

85 bps which are each way more expensive than 9x8 plus like 300bps to max in total compared to much less for 9x8

[tranquil pecan]

Wasn’t basing my argument on average players , was just saying that average players could benefit from it as well , not like it’s completely waste for them . 9x8 is as friendly as you can get from td’s pov as well

[proper kite]

lmfao i just noticed it's happening, deja vu all over

honestly the fact that 9x8 gets debated so often means it's not a solid choice

else no discussion would happen to begin with

[cobalt gyro]

Max speedtail, ultima rs, regera, chiron, chiron pur sport are all better than tushek

[sharp nebula]

imma bonk you

[proper kite]

I'm going though, don't have time rn to redo it all

[burnt dagger]

huracan is kinda terrible for la boca ngl
it loses to even invencible there due to drifting i guess

[tranquil pecan]

It’s a controversial car catering to various scenarios which people debate on , doesn’t invalidate its use case in any sense for the most part

[cobalt gyro]

If u have max vanda tho 9x8 is useless so yh then it makes sense to go for any other car

[tranquil pecan]

Not really

[amber patio]

9x8 is better than vanda i guess
90+Accel

[burnt dagger]

wait, are we forgetting that lykan neon is a key car and needs 125k Gauntlet Coins for they key alone? its the 2nd most expensive of all just behind devel

[proper kite]

Pong

[tranquil pecan]

Vanda ain’t got as much power as 9x8 for doing times that would help you hold your position in most tracks

[burnt dagger]

its something definitely not some newbie from Div-3 gonna afford after already saving for Devel

[proper kite]

I'd love to argue again but rn I'm doing laundry

[cobalt gyro]

Yh slightly better for gauntlet than vanda

[proper kite]

Don't have time like earlier today

[burnt dagger]

even in Resort dash?

[cobalt gyro]

The difference between vanda and 9x8 is minimal

[tranquil pecan]

Resort dash vanda should do better , tho still not an optimal choice as Battista is best

[sharp nebula]

to good players that difference matters

[tranquil pecan]

Difference is a lot can be 0.2+ on tracks

[cobalt gyro]

Both vanda and 9x8 are useless tho unless u have them gold I have a 4 star vanda and its useless

[proper kite]

Centodieci

[sharp nebula]

when I was maxing my vanda it still performed fine at 5*

[proper kite]

I should stop peeking here, got stuff to do:(

[tranquil pecan]

Centodieci can 18?

[proper kite]

Best in resort

Does 18 yeah

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah but does it do 18

Ah

I had a 19.066 with Battista which was likely 19.034+

Due to pl round offs

[cobalt gyro]

Yh also how do so many ppl in div 5 have max batista I haven't even unlocked it yet

[burnt dagger]

it had f2p SEs 2-3 years ago

[tranquil pecan]

I think Battista can 18 too

[proper kite]

.8

Already done

[drowsy rover]

it already does

[proper kite]

Not sure if oc or not

[drowsy rover]

doesn't 360

[tranquil pecan]

Oh , can u share the run

[proper kite]

No oc i think

[tranquil pecan]

I think it’s oc

Cuz i saw 18.8 with oc

[proper kite]

U gotta wait cuz im

[drowsy rover]

idon't even have the car

[proper kite]

Ugh screw real life hold on

[nova kayak]

not everyone has them 😉

[tranquil pecan]

I only saw a 19.059 on bilibili

[proper kite]

Ye it was oc

[sharp nebula]

by the time you max tushek you will

[proper kite]

Probably the run u saw

[wise latch]

Real

[sharp nebula]

pur might also get close to 18 on resort dash

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah , non oc 18 I’m yet to see

[sharp nebula]

but probably like 18.999-19.0

[tranquil pecan]

But yeah my run wasn’t optimal either so 18 is definitely possible

[proper kite]

Cento .8 no oc

833

[tranquil pecan]

Cool

[proper kite]

Quan .2

[tranquil pecan]

Quan did .133

[proper kite]

Even better

[tranquil pecan]

Idk if pur can 18

[proper kite]

But i don't think 18 possible

Lacks accel

[burnt dagger]

honestly i find pur sport tougher to use on Resort dash

[proper kite]

And nitro

[tranquil pecan]

Only Battista and cento perhaps

[wise latch]

why is pur so good does it have 83 accel or 87 im confused 😭

[burnt dagger]

i guess my skill issue

[proper kite]

83

But good ts helps

[drowsy rover]

both

[proper kite]

No

85 in high speed

[nova kayak]

83 actual

oh?

💀

[drowsy rover]

that is why i said both

[proper kite]

83 until 300ish

[tranquil pecan]

Would u share anyway , can’t find it now

[drowsy rover]

i thought it went 87 after 300+

[proper kite]

No

85

[drowsy rover]

i knew 83 at slow(lower than 300 ts)

[junior mountain]

Guys what is good time for stock agera x freefall

[nova kayak]

Hop in PL and make notes

[junior mountain]

I dont have it

[tranquil pecan]

360 is the fastest approach

[proper kite]

Don't think non oc get 18

[nova kayak]

Wait till you get it

[tranquil pecan]

Every ref has it

[proper kite]

That nitro really helped in last sw

[drowsy rover]

something close to max trion

[drowsy rover]

hmm

[junior mountain]

Low 19?

[drowsy rover]

yes

[cobalt gyro]

Regera and chiron u can max free from legend store at gl20 and by then u will probs have 5 star speedtail from starway plus ultima had 2 special hunts so loads of ppl got it plus pur sport was literally given for free and most ppl at least got it 5 stars so...

[drowsy rover]

not too low, but somewhat there

[nova kayak]

you can also max Vanda for free at 17

= 9X8 useless

[drowsy rover]

Run should go similar @junior mountain

[junior mountain]

Just unlocked it

[junior mountain]

Thanks

[proper kite]

@tranquil pecan is there .3 vanda in resort?

I'm stuck in 433

For months

[burnt dagger]

i started at Jan 2024, and my vanda is only closer to 5⭐

it aint appearing much often for me with credits 😔

[proper kite]

Since pl added

[sharp nebula]

[nova kayak]

Time to spend on token packs

/s

[burnt dagger]

honestly, vanda is faster to max only pre-unite

[junior mountain]

Where are vanda packs

[nova kayak]

only if you're at 20+

[tranquil pecan]

Haven’t tried , I just tried with Battista and i don’t see any ref either for it

[nova kayak]

Nowhere

[tranquil pecan]

Better than .466 for now

[nova kayak]

It was a joke

[proper kite]

For vanda?

I have my own ref

[burnt dagger]

yes considering me gl-35

[proper kite]

433

[junior mountain]

Sorry my iq too low

[sharp nebula]

when do vanda bps even start appearing for credits

[proper kite]

Cuz i couldn't find faster

[cobalt gyro]

Tbf yes but thats only if u just focused on maxing 9x8 at gl17 cause I'm gl20 and it barely appears in legend store cause of all the other cars that can show up

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah for vanda I have seen a .466

[nova kayak]

17 or 18

[proper kite]

Mine is 433 if u want

[tranquil pecan]

But I think vanda can .3

[proper kite]

Not sure tbh tried for so long

[wise latch]

well no dookie it is

[sharp nebula]

for credits?

[proper kite]

Skil isu ig

[tranquil pecan]

Share anyway , can be useful

[proper kite]

Only way i can see it happening is airspeed

[sharp nebula]

their amazing system put genty bps at gl30 so I don't trust the numbers they set

[proper kite]

After landing

[nova kayak]

it starts on 17, I think it can show for credits rarely

Would be easier at 18

[proper kite]

This one, with tighter drifts i still get 433

[sharp nebula]

the one level after shown gl doesnt apply to most post-unite gl cars so I just wanted to check

[burnt dagger]

18 iirc

[cobalt gyro]

At gl 18 I focused on regera and huracan since I had 4 star huracan so most ppl won't look at vanda then

[tranquil pecan]

Took me like 10 ish tries for a .066 with Battista but after that all runs were like .099 to .166 so stopped slaving

It’s mostly luck I feel

To get that 1 extra frame of improvement

[outer sphinx]

I have already got devel key also brought 10 bps of it

[proper kite]

What about owl byroads

Is there 18

Stuck 19.133

Idk what's wrong

[proper kite]

9x8 first boro skip devel

[outer sphinx]

Ale you sule?

[tranquil pecan]

Idk , feels pretty weird combo for owl tho that time seems nice

[proper kite]

Joking

[outer sphinx]

Olkey

[tranquil pecan]

Devel > 9x8 > neon

💯👍

[proper kite]

Ye time is good for f2p car

[outer sphinx]

If one has devil

No need of lykan

[proper kite]

Funny enough tgram tried with last ramp and me without

[outer sphinx]

Costs arround same

[proper kite]

Always 133

No less

[outer sphinx]

But 9x8 will take 1 year to max

[tranquil pecan]

You’d be golding 9x8 if you spend tc for eips

In 1 year

🥀

[proper kite]

Yes go for LS car with limited currency

[wise latch]

Is lykan neon even that good

[sharp nebula]

no

[nova kayak]

Yes

[outer sphinx]

?

[tranquil pecan]

Only on rttf and that too not relevant there

[nova kayak]

[nova kayak]

well done

[proper kite]

@tranquil pecan do u have abs

[tranquil pecan]

5137

[proper kite]

What time do you get in whirl

[tranquil pecan]

20.9 I did in my gauntlet def once

Can 20.8 maybe but need to try harder ig

[proper kite]

U wanna hear shattering news

4 star tartarus does .5

Did my best with abs

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah

[proper kite]

Only 20.6

So stupid

[terse vault]

speaking of whirl

accel cars can take a diff route

[burnt dagger]

immature statement: i think deus vayanne can get 0:20:8xx in waterside whirl

[tranquil pecan]

Tart is one of those cars which reaches its saturation pretty early stats wise

[terse vault]

nevera 20.9 by taking left side ramp into right route apparently

[tranquil pecan]

Gold and 4* I don’t think have way too much difference

[terse vault]

[tranquil pecan]

Apart from nitro ig

[proper kite]

Such a cheap performance for gauntlet

Insane

[proper kite]

Tried that with sf90 in the other variant

Forgot what it's called

[wise latch]

Cant be done with lower accel?

[proper kite]

Wait nvm i mean same variant

[tranquil pecan]

Track gets finished by the time you reach ts

💔

[wise latch]

i see

honestly no idea where i should be using pur sport if it has 83 accel isnt it just worse than speedtail in every way

[proper kite]

Use it when time sucks

But avoid in defense

[tranquil pecan]

I was dumb to keep tart at 2* and go for 5* cc850 in ds

[proper kite]

Unless u can do 19.1 in resort

[burnt dagger]

i usually use Pur Sport for easiness

[proper kite]

That's tough to beat for most

[wise latch]

got nothin else 💔

[burnt dagger]

Paris of the East, but i guess u have Nevera and other better cars

[wise latch]

actually no

[terse vault]

the high end accel is better

after 261

[cobalt gyro]

Gold pur sport is surely better than 5 star speedtail

[proper kite]

Maybe we can convince devs to look into pur

[wise latch]

I was just using regular chiron for paris of the east

[terse vault]

on tracks like resort dash it still benefits from the higher accel on the second half

[proper kite]

Cuz 85 is a joke

[terse vault]

but ye it's still sad

[wise latch]

87 would be kinda op

Poor mans nevera

[terse vault]

man if only pur had real 87 accel

18 resort dash 22 hell vale 32 ice breakers 20 notre dame

🥀

imagine the possibilities

[tranquil pecan]

Does nevera do 20 on notre dame

[burnt dagger]

@wise latch oh yea, ice breakers and notre dame are decent choices for Pur Sport as well

[burnt dagger]

pur did 0:21:3xx** something

surely nevera can do better right?

[amber patio]

Um.. it doesn't?

[tranquil pecan]

For now I only got bolide 5037 doing 21.0 for me

[burnt dagger]

unless the steering hinders the nevera

[proper kite]

U can try absolute

[tranquil pecan]

Eh

[wise latch]

Deus will be a game changer for my gauntlet experience 🙏

[terse vault]

has been tested by multiple people including me

[tranquil pecan]

Would be uncomfortable using that there

[burnt dagger]

.3xx*

my bad

[terse vault]

car accelerates worse than huracan evo

[proper kite]

But gets 20

[tranquil pecan]

But I think it’s good that’s why you are suggesting

Send ref if there’s one anyway . I’ll try

[proper kite]

Hyper had .8

https://youtu.be/N5wm8XFjCeo?t=1102s

[terse vault]

pretty sure there's a 20.7 bolide somewhere

[amber patio]

Damn.
Then not worth to max at all for gauntlet
Good i didn't spend credits to max it
Not like i had any anyways

[terse vault]

don't remember who did it though, have to find that run again

[tranquil pecan]

Kariss

There’s a 20.699 ref too

[terse vault]

https://youtu.be/dYrP6PtUld4?si=JQaohuK7i-hohlcE

.633

🥀

[proper kite]

Is that souravs guy

[tranquil pecan]

Yeah was gonna refer to that

[tranquil pecan]

That 360 float kinda hard to nail tho , I tried with mine

0014

[fallow vine]

isn't i kinda useless then compared with normal Chiron?

[proper kite]

For regular maps chiron is deffo better

Like in a multiplayer environment

[fallow vine]

on which Gauntlet tracks is Pur Sport better?

[tranquil pecan]

5041 feels great too

[proper kite]

Dunno tbh

Never brothered with it but resort it does well

I think in meiji as well

[tranquil pecan]

Urban rush kinda , tho nevera and owl both will easily beat

[fallow vine]

man, can't we ask Gl to fix its accel and make it actually 87?

[proper kite]

Hard

Been asking them for so many cars

Low priority work

And little time

[fallow vine]

does Tushek also have a negative fake accel?

since people say it's worse than Pur Sport

[proper kite]

Dunno

Gold tushek rare

People say a lot of things

[burnt dagger]

my opinion on Tushkek is based on its drifting actually

pretty grounded

or at least comparatively

[sharp nebula]

@proper kite just needs more narrow lines

but .433 isn't a bad time at all

[proper kite]

gg

👾

oh btw

bit off topic but if this floats it might be another vanda/9x8 pick for gauntlet

[terse vault]

meh that just looks like speirling

actually no 345

wait no that's like 1km/h faster than 9x8

and 7 worse nitro

[proper kite]

If it keeps drift speed with some sort of float it'll be interesting

Else a downgrade from 9x8

[harsh bison]

oml holy

[tired dust]

brotherhood ❤️‍🩹

[stable ibex]

Ref video please

[stable ibex]

Thanks

[light breach]

:raideepet:

[sharp nebula]

[thick vale]

Faun is trying to argue that this will kill 9x8

If it has the c class formula e drift

But i dont think it will kill nor will it have that good drift anyw

17 handling and some nitro is too big a difference

[thick vale]

0.8 more ts, 0.18 more accel, ~17 less handling and ~7 less nitro

I think itll lose

[woven chasm]

Yeah

A little bit

[naive axle]

When is next gauntlet?

[twilit hearth]

Pretty cool actually

[tender patio]

This Thursday

[pine skiff]

Okay why do I need to wait 20 weeks to max out bps on the McLaren F1LM

[novel atlas]

thats how all of them are

thank god you don't have to max through legend store

or something

that would be even slower

[leaden skiff]

F1lm soon

[desert coral]

Are you uploading this? I can get it added to our reference bot then 🙂

[fair pecan]

Ehhhhh I suppose so, perhaps tomorrow

I also have 2 gauntlet vids on my channel uploaded recently, you can check those if you want more stuff :letroll:

[desert coral]

I'm asking for those to be added already 🙂 Keep up the good work!

There is also a form for people to submit refs now too. Then we verify the info and times and add them. If you or any of your clubmates want a link to submit any runs then drop me a message

[misty tinsel]

Max Tartarus wall street ride 20.7
to save your time: nitrous after first 360, nitrous off 360 x3, land and (nitro brake - brake), SW 12.8s -13s

[drowsy rover]

I need a pur x wall street ride ref

along with gazira with the same car

[outer sphinx]

Chiron is also very good there flat 21

[drowsy rover]

i have to use chiron in some tracks like trainspotter or smth

So i need multiple cars

[outer sphinx]

What's your timming

Trainspotter

[drowsy rover]

i do bad in it

[outer sphinx]

Even then

[drowsy rover]

i don't remember

i had asked for reffor that too

[outer sphinx]

🤦

If you remember

[drowsy rover]

got one, but can't make it better

[outer sphinx]

Then only you can comapre

[drowsy rover]

I don't excels lmao

[outer sphinx]

No

In these 3 gauntlet

I have auto.atically learned

All streets and timmings I can get

Almost

[drowsy rover]

i don't care to learn

[outer sphinx]

Lol

[outer sphinx]

I just played

Remembered automatically

[drowsy rover]

i do low on some second

you could go in the lower second high

iirc

i gotta do a run to see

[outer sphinx]

Best is 22.9 there

I think

[drowsy rover]

i would do 23 then

yep

23 low

23:2xx or 22:1xx

i knew i did 23 low

random run so not as good

but somewhere here itself

[drowsy rover]

U got these refs?

[outer sphinx]

My best is flat 23

[drowsy rover]

My pur aint fully upgraded, will gold handle and upgrade TS by thursday

So i can make it gold before gauntlet ends

By that time i wanna learn it

[misty tinsel]

i have Chiron ref https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vbnOscY65U&t=477s

[drowsy rover]

Will pur run be similar to it?

[misty tinsel]

mine not upgraded

[drowsy rover]

Getting there, i just gotta keep upgrading

[drowsy rover]

It does better than my c1 in some tracks, so i had to upgrade it

It beats my c1 in gazira( i got attacked by someone)

[misty tinsel]

donate credit

[drowsy rover]

i got 28k rn

I use them at soon as i hit 540k

to apply another epic

lmao

[cursive pollen]

when the next gauntlet will hold?

[outer sphinx]

What's pur best time there?

[proper kite]

15/05

[outer sphinx]

Chiron does 21 flat

[drowsy rover]

i did 21:5xx with these upgrades

gold pur has 7 kph higher ts

And around 2.5 points better handle

[outer sphinx]

Ok

[cursive pollen]

I just got 31k gauntlet coin. what car recoommended to unlock in gauntlet?

[outer sphinx]

F1lm

[drowsy rover]

devel

[ruby oracle]

Kind of

But don't need to save for sw

Can do short drift and then orange nitro

[drowsy rover]

hmm

[ruby oracle]

Save for sw on last ramp

[drowsy rover]

ic

[outer sphinx]

What's your gauntlet status

Why try harding so much?

I feel doing all daily

And top 25 in division 5 is a very comfortable spot

[drowsy rover]

i want the top 10 everytime

I got top 10 in every gauntlet except 1st one, i got top 25 in that

i got a lot of experience from 1st

Helped me a lot in rest

i wanna gold the devel asap

i don't sandbag gauntlet too

i play normally

i find it more fun

[outer sphinx]

Ok

[outer sphinx]

For that what I said is

More than sufficient

The minimum time you need to gold devil is 1 hear and 3 months

Because they won't give no more than 5 bp

Per week

[drowsy rover]

If you can get 50k coins every gauntlet

[outer sphinx]

Above is 60k

Lol

[drowsy rover]

5.6k from master

34k from top 10

3.4k daily

[outer sphinx]

Yes

Top 25 and doing all is 60k

So why try hard

Just play for fun

[drowsy rover]

Is sandbagging then then climbing worth it?

i never did it

[outer sphinx]

No

It's same

[drowsy rover]

i don't know how to do it

[outer sphinx]

It's same

No use

[vast marlin]

Sandbagging only helps in getting daily 22 gauntlets for those who can't

[outer sphinx]

It's useful for lower level playera

[vast marlin]

Rest all are same

[outer sphinx]

Not for those who will try to reach top 10 or 25

[vast marlin]

You will keep losing lot of rank daily

[vague bronze]

unknown_2006_ has been warned

Reason: Bad word usage

[drowsy rover]

i have to use 40 everyday

[outer sphinx]

Which word

[drowsy rover]

but i get 3.4k daily

[outer sphinx]

Total

[drowsy rover]

i used 1k last gauntlet, 315 in last 2 days to climb against whales and hackers

[vast marlin]

Did u write the synonym of poop?

[drowsy rover]

We had 2 hackers in top 10 last time

[outer sphinx]

No

I said that how many tokens do you use in gauntlet season total

Not it's not deleting

See

It's mad

[vast marlin]

I wonder what was the bad word it found lol

[drowsy rover]

,

[vast marlin]

With sandbag u need not spend at all for daily 22 gauntlets for 7 days

That's the only benefit

[drowsy rover]

but i don't get top 10 then

[outer sphinx]

Yeah saw

[drowsy rover]

get top 25 then

get less gokens and less tokens

[vast marlin]

In last 2 days, sandbag is turned off and rank play is started

That's where players reach top 25

[outer sphinx]

If you sandbad and try for top 10 then you need to spend atleast 700 to 800 total

[vast marlin]

And even top 10

[drowsy rover]

More gokens and tokens from top 10 bracket balances it out

[outer sphinx]

Why top 10

[vast marlin]

Sandbag isn't for whole 7 days, just first 5 or 4 days, though I've never tried

[drowsy rover]

34k gokens and 1.6k tokens

[outer sphinx]

If you target

25

Then less tokens spent

It balances out

Not an issue

[drowsy rover]

you get top 10 and get more tokens

which balances it out

you get 200 more

[vast marlin]

Yep

[outer sphinx]

I said that only

[drowsy rover]

you spend 200 more in tickets

But with more tokens in top 10 too

[vast marlin]

Tokens from both top category and league

So much tokens in return

[outer sphinx]

How about this you get 60k coins and total spand 300 tokens and not much time spent
This is my income

[drowsy rover]

Why don't you want me to get top 10 lol?
i don't get the point

[outer sphinx]

No use of those 6k extra

Much effort

5 bp of devil fixed

[vast marlin]

If u can, u should ofc lol if it costs little efforts

[outer sphinx]

No a lot

I tried once got to top 10

[vast marlin]

I don't have big garage or alien skills so top 25/50 is fixed for me

[outer sphinx]

Took a lot of hrs

Practising and executing

So I am happy with 25

Best economic zone

[vast marlin]

Yea, I don't try a lot coz I get less time to invest on games

Avg 46-48k gokens only

[outer sphinx]

See My plan
I get 60k gokens
2.5k tokens
Most importantly max 2 hrs spent on it

Per 2 week

Since it's alternate

Best optimisation

[drowsy rover]

hmm

[vast marlin]

Yea it would take me a bit more time coz of lesser car options

So I go with whatever is efficient

[outer sphinx]

I use basic cars

007s

Huracan

Ultima

Speedtail

Chiron

Bas

[vast marlin]

Ah I don't have 2.5 of them even upgraded lol

[outer sphinx]

Haven't even upgraded pur

[vast marlin]

Me too

Not Having Chiron is affecting my races sometimes

Even tail

But it's manageable

[outer sphinx]

For free fall I just got 😈

18.7

[vast marlin]

Which car

[rotund dome]

sixteen

[outer sphinx]

😈

[vast marlin]

Oh.mb

How can I forget lol, I read it devel so I didn't interpret devil

My pb 19.5 4 star trion, doing the same next gauntlet when I get that long box car

[outer sphinx]

🤭

👍

[drowsy rover]

I use nevera, chiron, speedtail, ultima, 007s, c1, 4* jesko ande devel(in freefall from next gauntlet, just got it )

[fair pecan]

ER-9 does similar time

[drowsy rover]

wild, + me nub

[outer sphinx]

Your garage has some best accelerating cars

So you can easily push for top 10

[drowsy rover]

i got skill issue

[outer sphinx]

That all have

In their own level

[drowsy rover]

But i have more than rest

[outer sphinx]

Ok

Bed luk

[drowsy rover]

@alpine ledge

check :56

[alpine ledge]

💔

[drowsy rover]

the car always goes into wallride

Any alien gets the same thing there

air accel kills it too

[alpine ledge]

💔

[drowsy rover]

only works in freefall

slaps jesko there

which is nice tbh as gauntlet track

[vast marlin]

devel wallride disease too?

[drowsy rover]

wdym?

[vast marlin]

does it climb wall during wallride

like chiron and tartar

[drowsy rover]

no

[drowsy rover]

and owl

[vast marlin]

ah

[drowsy rover]

Very stable on wallrides to what i have driven

[vast marlin]

thick n wide cars

[drowsy rover]

Very fast in wallrides too
