It is, but it leads to World Circuits. There are no campaign menus like this:
They don't exist. The events are, as already said, reached via World Circuits.
By process of elimination that is what the chequered flag icon is.

And we already know what World Circuits menu looks like:
That is it. That's where we find all offline racing content. It's a bold choice. A lot of casual fans might think there is no career mode again.
It only occurred to me just now that GT7 has an offline campaign mode similar to Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) – or to an extent, the Burnout series (notably Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge. Events – outside Championships – are reachable per track, and new events are only unlocked once you've leveled enough to unlock a new track.
Even the tracks in Burnout 3 are categorized in the same manner as well

Indeed, but it is the best option for a regional and detailed map. The distance between the tracks on the map is very high, so one map with all tracks won‘t look good imo.

Not sure if anyone’s mentioned it already, but I think that when we first go to the UCD for our first car, we’ll be able to pick between the three cars within the Japanese Compact Cars selection, being the Toyota Aqua, the Honda Fit Hybrid, and the Mazda Demio XD.
In other words, we’ll still have a choice of a first car rather than being gifted one like in GT6 and GTS, but it’ll be one of three very specific cars. Not that I mind - I think I’ll go for the Aqua. Then, I think we’ll get the others - and possibly another one for the car we initially picked - as prize cars early-on in the campaign, licenses, and so on. So I still plan to spend as few credits as I can throughout the campaign, then go nuts with buying cars/modifications when I’ve completed the campaign. Gotta say, that journey is looking mighty fun...

Oh shoot, I wasn't even thinking about those. That would rock!
Another thought was put into my head, because the 1973 3.0CSL has a Group 5 wide-body, what if other cars had something as crazy?
I'm imagining the e46 M3 with a GTR Race Car kit:
Possibly the C6 ZR1 with a GT3 kit:
and maybe the R32 Skyline has a JGTC kit that looks like this:

I hope to use the preorder amount of credits for buying first car. So the under 20,000 Cr. are an option, but I won‘t have the option to pay more than 50,000 Cr.,which should be the limit.

Although the options do look limited, those may not be your only 3 choices. At 3:00 in the SoP video, when buying your first car, there is also a Suzuki Swift available for 16,275. But, considering the similarity of the car lists and the fact that the Swift is in an earlier build of the game, it's possible PD made a change to ensure there aren't other options under 20,000.Well, it seems they'll give the illusion of choice but yes, really you're picking between those three. The screenshots are all mixed up in terms of progression but I saw a few early ones where the starting credits seem to be 20,000. Now look how many cars are under 20,000....

Lol true, the globe-format menu brings Burnout 3 too into my mind. Though GT7's globe menu is ironically less detailed than the Burnout games or Forza Motorsport 4's World Tour; it doesn't go directly into the destination's environment itself (at least in the GT7's Announcement Trailer, wasn't seen how's the animation for the latest GT World).View attachment 1111939

I’ve had more ideas on which cars could be obtainable via Circuit Experience:
-Sardegna - Windmills: Alpine A110 ‘72
-Colorado Springs - Lake: Ford F-150 SVT Raptor
-Nurburgring Nordschleife: Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) V-Spec II Nur
-Northern Isle Speedway: Plymouth Superbird
-Tsukuba Circuit: Mazda Roadster (NA)
Of course, with the courses being unlocked as we complete more collection books, I wonder if the potential prize cars for circuits that are unlocked later-on will be more valuable? That’s before we factor in other potential limiting factors, like potential license requirements, or the seeming return of the level system. It definitely looks fun, either way.

You can barely see the track with so many things in the forefront.I prefer the "face glued to the dashboard with no wheel" camera view

With the custom grids, I wonder if it will be something like Forza 3 multiplayer mode (if I remember right) that allowed you to pick AI & there difficulty, but not the home garage cars, one thing I'm hoping with this feature is the ability to pick my garage cars that have custom liveries and body modifications that would match the custom race series I would want to set up. What I don't know at this point is there going to be a limitation on the AI that can only run with a generic setup. With a large field of cars would like to have the AI have varied liveries.

This.With the pre-order credits would we be able to buy a higher spec/price car or will the game not allow it to be used?Does it have to be one of there chosen cars maybe?

Is that the Andromeda galaxy? If so, I think that's the most detailed night sky I have ever seen in a game.

GT Café really is the campaign,with "GT League" right behind it.
If the Demio,Acqua and Honda Fit are the only options for a first car it will directly tie into the japanese compact car collection at the Café.
I think it's a good way to start the game,and the idea is that hopefully the player will keep coming back to the café since it's part of the first few hours.

Unfortunately you're forced to pick those three. I want a Miata, seen in other screens and totally attainable, but seeing as how the GT Cafe is the only option, they want you to have the illusion of choice. Instead of buying something else or upgrading the car you own, you must buy the remaining two ****boxes to progress.

I don't think you will have only 3 cars, because in the used dealership you have many more options for lower price
