I completed all 39 menu books in Gran Turismo 7 and this is what I was rewarded

What do you think of the custom PS5 box art I designed using a photo of two of my Ferrari's that I captured in GT7's Scapes mode?

My blog has been full of Gran Turismo 7 content here lately. It is probably pretty obvious that I really love this video game and consider it one of the greatest racing titles ever. The realistic racing sim aspect is a huge draw for me, but also the history and collection of so many unique cars throughout time. GT7 really does a fantastic job of making you proud of what is in your garage.

The menu books are the game's way of slowly unlocking every track for you and also rewarding you with loads of free cars along the way. There are a total of 39 menu books and by the time you reach the final one, the rewards are pretty lucrative. I'm talking GTRs, Ferraris, Porsches, and much more popular manufacturers. You are also rewarded plenty of credits to upgrade and customize your cars, or perhaps even purchase cars from the dealership if you are really willing to spend some creds.

I was rewarded three different Ferraris after completing one of the later menu books, but I felt that I needed a 4th Ferrari and purchased the F8. My F8 ended up being the car that I spent the time and money to build up to be prepared for the 39th and final menu book. This thing is an absolute beast and looks so damn good in the red color I went with.

^{I managed to reach 234 mph in the last menu book's final championship race, which is the fastest I have driven so far..}

After getting first place in the last championship, I was rewarded one of three cars at random. As soon as I saw the list, I was torn between the Porsche Carrera GT and the Lamborghini Aventador. Of course, the game decided to give me the Pagani Huayra. It had the highest PP on the list, but I had zero plans of going after a Pagani anytime soon. I knew I'd want at least one Lambo in my garage and the Carrera GT is one of my favorite cars ever. Oh well, I had enough credits saved up to easily afford a Lamborghini Huracan. I've still yet to get a Carrera GT though.

I was also given a 6-star roulette ticket after turning in my menu book. This gave me the possibility of receiving one of five random rewards. I either wanted the gold bars worth 500k or the Ford GT. This time I lucked out and was gifted the Ford GT. I already had an older Ford GT, but I love this 2017 so much more.

I was pretty satisfied with what I was given. I really hope more menu books are added for free in the future, which I have a feeling they will be. I don't think they will try to charge for more menu books, but they certainly have microtransactions available if you are crazy enough to drop more real-life money into this game after paying $70 for it as I did. I will rely on earning everything in-game.

Luckily, there is still loads of other content to enjoy besides the menu books. It was just really nice getting a new car basically every single race. I now have close to 100 cars and I'd say a dozen or so are ones that I enjoy driving regularly. I spent so many credits in this game already and this is still just the beginning.
