The Pagani Huayra BC has reclaimed its position on the list of my best Gauntlet lap-times, whereas the W Motors Fenyr Supersport has been kicked out just as quickly as it initially arrived. The track where this change occurred was Iceland Reverse. First personal best:- Iceland Reverse | 1:12:038 (Centenario, Senna, Speedtail, Jesko, LVN)
Previous personal best:- Iceland Reverse | 1:11:955 (Centenario, Senna, Fenyr, Jesko, LVN)
Current personal best:- Iceland Reverse | 1:11:889 (Centenario, Huayra BC, Jesko, Senna, AF10)

The Bugatti La Voiture Noire has dethroned the Bugatti Divo as the starter car on Iceland Forward in Gauntlet mode. This is one more piece of evidence that the LVN is indeed superior to the Divo... The Divo is a strong competitor, but it's losing ground. Oh, and we don't talk about the McLaren Speedtail. ๐ (It's super dead at this point.) ๐ป First personal best:- Iceland Forward | 1:10:998 (Centenario, Speedtail, Jesko, Senna, AF10)
Previous personal best:- Iceland Forward | 1:10:982 (Divo, Centenario, Jesko, Senna, AF10)
Current personal best:- Iceland Forward | 1:10:833 (LVN, Centenario, Jesko, Senna, AF10)

For the first time in history, the Lamborghini Centenario has been dethroned from one of my personal best lap-times... by none other than the Bugatti Bolide. The new kid on the block. Senna and AF10 beware! First personal best:- Transylvania: Citadel Clash | 54:729 (Centenario, Jesko, Senna, LVN)
Previous personal best:- Transylvania: Citadel Clash | 54:647 (Centenario, Jesko, Senna, LVN)
Current personal best:- Transylvania: Citadel Clash | 54:630 (Bolide, Jesko, Senna, Divo)

The Bolide, despite my limited usage with it has helped me also to break a few personal best times. One was Westminster Bridge, never broke the 44sec mark, but now broke it with 43.872. Still need to work with it a bit, but I'm liking it a lot

แถฯโโiฮตโฎ๏ธ๐พ๐ - Congratulations on being the first person to comment on this thread aside from me, which has been going on for two pages already (on desktop view). Yes, the Bolide is a very comfortable ride, though I myself am also just learning the ropes. It's got some interesting performance attributes that need to be explored further... In terms of its acceleration for example, I've noticed that the Bolide accelerates faster than the Bugatti La Voiture Noire for the first half (i.e. roughly 0 km/h to 250 km/h give or take) but then slower than the LVN for the second half (i.e. 250 km/h to 500+ km/h). So, the Bolide's initial acceleration is fast, but its latter acceleration is slow. This is the opposite of the Pininfarina Battista, whose initial acceleration is slow but latter acceleration is fast. Whereas, most other cars have a steadier acceleration model, remaining consistent throughout the first and second halves. The 2018 McLaren X2 seems to share the same acceleration attributes as the Bolide, accelerating quickly in the first half but slowly in the second half. The X2 and Bolide also have very similar handling... So, that's why I've described the Bolide as a mixture between the X2 and the Jesko (notwithstanding the fact that they also look quite similar to one another visually). The Bolide's powerful acceleration and handling give it an edge on certain tracks. So far, I've identified Transylvania: Citadel Clash as one of the Bolide's strongest tracks as the starter car. There are various other examples.

แถฯโโiฮตโฎ๏ธ๐พ๐ - Congratulations on being the first person to comment on this thread aside from me, which has been going on for two pages already (on desktop view). No worries. I always use these pages as a source of knowledge, so I appreciate the hard work and detail that is in this and the other research threads Yep, I myself always refer back to this thread in particular when playing Gauntlet mode... It's very useful to have a list of personal best lap-times at hand in order to determine both the optimal lap-time that I should be aiming for and the optimal cars that I should be using. Surprisingly, this information is not just stored away in my brain somewhere... There are way too many lap-times and configurations of cars to keep track of. I know that some people just more or less use the exact same cars and the exact same order of cars for every track... This can allow for decent performance overall, but various tracks require various different set-ups in order to take full advantage of the biggest strengths of each car, so the best possible lap-times require much more precision than just using the same set-up for every track. The strengths that I've identified so far include: - Acceleration - Standard {Chiron SS300+, Centenario, Divo, LVN, Speedtail, etc.}
- Acceleration - First half {Bolide, X2}
- Acceleration - Second half {Battista, C_Two}
- Total top speed - {Jesko}
- Raw top speed - {Jesko, Chiron SS300+, Bolide, AF10, Devel}
- Handling - Grip {Centenario, Senna, etc.}
- Handling - Steering capacity {MP4-31, Bolide, etc.}
- Handling - Sensitivity {Intensa, Senna, etc.}
- Handling - Stability {Sian, Divo, etc.}
- Handling - Weight {Blade SE, FXX K, etc.}
- Drifting - Sharpness {Intensa, Centenario, etc.}
- Drifting - Smoothness {Jesko, Agera RS, etc.}
- Nitro efficiency Level 1 - {Senna}
- Nitro efficiency Level 2 - {Devel}
- Nitro efficiency Level 3 - {Intensa}

The newcomer Bugatti Bolide has already taken over FIVE personal best lap-times within a few days... And several of these runs weren't even "perfect" per se... I made some mistakes and missed certain shortcuts... And yet, the raw, untamed power of the Bolide was enough to sweep away some of its lesser opponents. Crucial tracks included Transylvania: Citadel Clash, Transylvania: The King's Highway, London Standard, Barcelona Forward, and Area 51: Test Site: Omega. The new distribution of cars used for my best lap-times on all tracks in Gauntlet mode is:
- (S1862 | Tier 1) Koenigsegg Jesko: x55โ

More progress for the Bugatti Bolide. It now occupies eight personal best lap-times of mine. It has knocked the Lamborghini Centenario out of three additional tracks, whereas the Divo has swapped places with the LVN for one of these same tracks (with that being said, the Divo has already been matched by the Centenario shortly afterwards; I count the first instance of a lap-time first, so the Divo takes this one, but the Centenario is coming back for its throne). The notable tracks throughout these past few days included Area 51: Route 375-1, Sector 8 Reverse, and London: Westminster Bridge. The Koenigsegg Jesko is currently the reigning champion of my Gauntlet mode personal best lap-times. I can't envision the Bolide knocking it out of any tracks. The new distribution of cars used for my best lap-times on all tracks in Gauntlet mode is:
- (S1862 | Tier 1) Koenigsegg Jesko: x55โ
- (S1861 | Tier 1) Lamborghini Centenario: x51โ [โ3]
- (S1860 | Tier 2) McLaren Senna: x50โ

The Bolide now occupies eleven of my personal best lap-times. The La Voiture Noire has lost a track to thin air due to being right on the cut-off of the 1-minute mark. The Speedtail has lost one track to the Agera RS and now only has one track left. Tracks that were important included Patagonia: The River Fort, French Guiana Forward, Barcelona Reverse, Transylvania: The King's Highway, and French Guiana Reverse. I have fully upgraded a further two cars, so they've been added to the list below; the Gemera and Battista. Neither car has been able to procure a new best lap-time, though the Battista clearly shows promise on tracks such as French Guiana Forward, Barcelona Reverse, and French Guiana Reverse. The Gemera doesn't seem to be very useful due to the direct superiority of the Divo over it. The new distribution of cars used for my best lap-times on all tracks in Gauntlet mode is:
- (S1862 | Tier 1) Koenigsegg Jesko: x55โ
- (S1861 | Tier 1) Lamborghini Centenario: x50โ [โ1]
- (S1860 | Tier 2) McLaren Senna: x49โ [โ1]
- (S1862 | Tier 2) Bugatti La Voiture Noire: x18โ [โ1]

- (S1861 | Tier 2) Bugatti Divo: x8โ
- (S1860 | Tier 3) Koenigsegg Agera RS: x8โ [+1]

The past two seasons have seen turbulent changes. The Bolide is now my fourth-most-used car in Gauntlet mode. The Battista has debuted with two new best lap-times right off the bat, on the forward and reverse versions of the same track. The Jesko is still going strong with x55 tracks... In fact, the Jesko is the last car with over x50 tracks, since the Centenario is now under x50 tracks, following after the Senna, which has passed that milestone long ago. Important tracks have included Azure Coast Forward (bolide, sian // af10, pista), Azure Coast Reverse (bolide // lvn), Rio de Janeiro: Ipanema Showdown (bolide // senna), Rio de Janeiro: Oceanview Derby (none), Venice Reverse (agera rs // x2), The Great Wall Reverse (sian, battista, bolide // centenario, senna, lvn), and The Great Wall Forward (battista, bolide // senna, lvn). The new distribution of cars used for my best lap-times on all tracks in Gauntlet mode is:
- (S1862 | Tier 1) Koenigsegg Jesko: x55โ
- (S1861 | Tier 1) Lamborghini Centenario: x49โ [โ1]
- (S1860 | Tier 2) McLaren Senna: x46โ [โ3]
- (S1862 | Tier 1) Bugatti Bolide: x16โ [+5]
- (S1862 | Tier 2) Bugatti La Voiture Noire: x15โ [โ3]
- (S1860 | Tier 3) Koenigsegg Agera RS: x9โ [+1]
- (S1861 | Tier 2) Bugatti Divo: x8โ
- (S1859 | Tier 5) Arash AF10: x5โ [โ1]
- (S1861 | Tier 2) Lamborghini Sian FKP 37: x4โ [+2]
- (S1859 | Tier 3) Ferrari 488 Pista: x4โ [โ1]
- (S1861 | Tier 3) Ferrari FXX K: x3โ
- (S1862 | Tier 2) Pininfarina Battista: x2โ [+2]

@ronan I watched few your videos and I just noticed how many u ignored nitro bottles ... then i realized this is the difference why your lap time is so good because ure maintaining good racing line to get the best time possible. Ive to change my race after this because before this I just cant see the nitro bottle being left just like that... haha

Yes, sometimes, the nitro bottles make you go wide, such as on Citadel Clash in my Jesko (seen in the video above). Whenever I have enough nitro in my tank, I can afford to abandon nitro bottles in order to get tighter racing lines. But you've got to be very careful and very precise. You have to know exactly what you're doing in order to understand when it is okay to abandon a nitro bottle in such a way.
