How to properly start GT7?

I restarted GT7 about a year ago on another account and documented it here:

If they were to ‘solve’ grinding in the next update…

… I’m not saying I’m expecting for this to happen, it’s purely hypothetical. But if the devs were to suddenly solve the grinding issues; let’s say by giving virtually every track in the game a 500k to 1m credit race, and maybe a 2m+ event on Nurburgring (10 laps or something) Would it make...

I have to say that @Tommy_D has a point here: developers do have a path that they expect users to follow towards "beating the game." For Gran Turismo, you can mark that moment by when you get the ending movie. That's not to say that "beating the game" equals "doing everything available in the...

b) those cars are not required to be purchased to complete the game. What are you defining as "complete the game" though? Getting to the finale doesn't require them, but it leaves a lot of game that hasn't been completed and doesn't take especially long. You might only "require" a seven-figure...

There have been 12 "bonus" menu books added for a total of 51 menu books now.

The first 39 are the core of the career experience, and you'll see the ending movie (and get some PSN Trophies) for finishing that. While there are indeed now another 12 "Bonus" Menu Books (comprising races; there's also "Extra" Menu Books which are car collection tasks with no races), they're not required for further progress.

You might also find that they're not all unlocked either, as several require very high Collector Levels to unlock them.
