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

If they were to āsolveā grinding in the next updateā¦
ā¦ Iām not saying Iām expecting for this to happen, itās purely hypothetical. But if the devs were to suddenly solve the grinding issues; letās 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.

Ok, so I have completed 39 menu books. Indeed, I see it goes to 51 now.
The biggest test for me was the Nurgurgring.
Got some cars in the process.

I like the game overall. In fact, I believe it is phenomenal for car enthusiasts. Great feeling to drive these awesome cars and go to historical tracks. I am a lot more into Formula 1 than I am in GT, but the F1 game is exceptionally bad. I like the fact you have Monza, Interlagos, Suzuka, Barcelona and Nurburgring here. Those are classical F1 tracks. Spa too.

Congratulations mate , reaching 39 menu is crucial ( short of ) .
As i see you rewarded with Pagani invitation car which is always welcome as any invitation car of course.
Now it's up to you how you will deal with it further.
You will also be able to run weekly races every Friday and win valuable cars that will save you usually 1million or credits depending on what the rewards are .
The only cars you might need from now on are the C class ones that will help you to clear the Historical menu .
Cars like mazda 787 , nissan R92CP , Porsche, Sauber etc.
My advice from now on is :
Put an amount of credits as a target, for example 5-10 millions or whatever that you won't spend unless is an emergency.
Spend only credits above the amount you put as minimum limit.
That might save you from trouble in the future and am not talking about invitations but mostly cars from LCD that are on about a week and not a month.
Whatever you're up to , take your time and enjoy it .

I think I will try to follow this:
1. Circuit experience ā> learning tracks
2. Online events ā> competing
3. Continue menu books ā> collecting cars
Surprised there is no Silverstone or Monaco.

Big green box at the top of the World Circuits screen.
The current set will end in a few hours and have a good credit bonus, so... do it quick!

Got a question and hope you can guide me a big.
I wanted to take part in 60 min event in Spa. You get 1.000.000. But you can it for the win only?
I started it and got to 4th place. Then the rain started falling and i started sliding like crazy. Drivers ahead went to pits. I have never done an event like this. Should I refuel, change my tyres? How do I know when and how? Also, what would be the best strategy to pick a car and win wich an event? Thanks!

You'll find a topic about this race somewhere in this forum, with cars, strategies and all.
For the race "conditions" all is written on the pre-race screens. For the weather you won't know before doing the event, but you can look at the weather radar in the pre-race screen, it'll show you the rain radar 1 hour before the race (but not give predictions).
Not sure if some races have a fixed weather scenario, most of the "maybe" rain races I've done recently do not pan out everytime the same way.
If you have race tyres, you will suffer rapidly if the rain is more than just a brief instant. You better pit for inter tyres (you need to buy them before the race I think to be able to switch during the race). You will loose less times pitting for inters than sliding around all the track.

Do you know where you can see the weather forecast while racing? Zoom fully out. As soon as you see that at least the second "colour shade" of rain will hit for some time, change to intermediates (but not too soon as they will go red fast if you drive on a dry track). You will learn how fast and in what direction the rain will come soon.

Thank you very much. Will research the forum. This could be interesting but also time consuming.
Btw, I am surprised there are some obvious cars missing in GT7. Any idea why?
1. BMW M5
2. Audi RS6
3. Ferrari SP3 Daytona
Did anyone go through menu book 41? Where do you get a competitive car for it?

I have now purchased Mazda LM55 gr.1 and ā¦cannot use it to compete in menu book 41 as it is above 850 pp. Somehow I went with the reco on the forum and did not verify myself

You can tune down cars to fit PP limitations.
You can add an ECU output limiter and lower it enough to reach the PP limit.
If you put RH you'll have less PP than with RM or RS
And so on.
LM55 is a great car so with some tuning it should be good.

You need to purchase ballast and power adjuster on the tunning shop .
If you like Spa i will provide you a tune for easy win.
Note tha its crucial NOT to overtake cars under yellow flags cause you're LOOSE the clean race bonus which os half a million .
Also ALWAYS we put the game on Easy level when its about griding .
The reason is obvious, we don't wanna make our life difficult , so slower AI , easier for us .
Also as mentioned above , at raced with rain as SPA or La Sarthe we have the weather tap on screen in full out zoom to see what weather approaching and change tyres ( usually only intermediate are enough) before we caught out on track.
Need some experience for that but isn't hard for noone.

Yes, pleaase! I love Spa! I am a Formula 1 fan since 1998 and know all the f1 races tracks pretty well. Driving them on GT7 is a new experience for me as I have only played F1 games till now.
