Hey guys, got the game on Saturday 25-6-22. Advanced through menu book 1 and 2, passed all licenses including s-10 super license 10.

I'm stuck at menu book 3 - when I go to world circuits, the compass I highlighted here is missing from my screen.

I went in and after being beaten, won the Brands Hatch Gr 4 race. I won the Autodrome 3 times now in different cars, no rewards, no advance.

Have I missed something? I can't believe there is no instruction anywhere on what I must do next, so I'm thinking somehow my game has bugged out.

Questions - Is there something I have missed/not understood anyone can think of?

If I have to uninstall/reinstall, will I lose my license progress? I have PS gold membership. Also it is the deluxe edition, I don't want to lose progress/credits.

Any help gratefully received, thanks.

Yes, been back there many times since.
I exit the cafe to select world circuits, the compass was there for the compact cars, won them all ok.
Now when I go to world circuits, the compass is not there, so I wondered if there is something else I need to do.
Seems crazy it wouldn't tell me straight up what to do which is why I'm wondering if it just bugged out.
Thanks for your response.👍

Have you gone back to the cafe to finish the menu / collect your prize?

If nothing is showing I'd always go back to cafe just to check if you need to finish something or actually press start on a new menu.

Otherwise can you post a screenshot of your main home screen?

NOTE - There was a page somewhere that gave a link in case you got stuck at a menu book. Seems to be a known issue.

I went there and let them know, so with any luck it gets reset and I don't ask for my money back and dump the game.

I like the game so far, and have owned nearly all GT games since it started, but I'm not going to stay here with no way to progress. Won all three of these (Bottom screenshot) races now, restarted PS, changed to wreckfest and back... Nothing helped, the compass icon does not work on any of the screens and is missing altogether in the world circuits.

That picture looks like you need to hit start on the menu. You don’t click where you marked btw, just hit start on the actual menu.

Sorry @huff, there are 5 pictures, not sure which one you mean.
My issue is in the OP you see this picture below of what it should look like, the game tells you this compass shows you what to choose to complete menu book challenges.
My last picture shows that is not there. We'll see if hitting their link helped tonight I hope. 9.22am here right now.

In the picture that shows the menu with the shaded cars, there is a black button that says “start”, did you click that?

@huff Thank you 🙏
Grumpy old man with no patience I am. Apparently.
I did hit start. I remember ol mate Luca started waffling and I hit circle to back out and get on with it.
I let him have his say til the end just now and sure enough, everything Is now as it should be.

Won the cars, moving on...

As long as you can still learn new things and recognize your mistakes, you're still young enough to play this game... Have fun with it and good luck.!
 
I just resolved this exact same problem, but I have no clue what changed. I had an identical problem as the OP here, and the only thing I did was delete my local save file and reboot the game. Yesterday, Luca just kept talking and talking without starting Menu Book 3. Today, when I hit start, he did the same talking but the game actually started the mission. I'm very confused, but it's working at least.

How do you delete the local save file and reboot the game ?

In book 33 they suggest you use a Toyota GR Supra RZ ‘20 PP 544,59 to race with. I have upgraded my Supra to have a PP of 594.25 as the highest you are allowed is a PP of 600 for the three races. However I still seem to end up 10th or thereabouts as the other guys ride away from me. What car did you guys use to achieve success?

Just did a test on Spa, I use my BMW E30 M3 on RM, tuned to 599PP, on normal mode. Won without much trouble. All lap times in the 1:38.XXX except the last one where I ended up in the 1:37.XXX

Not sure what is the problem you face, how long have you been playing GT7 ?

There is almost as many answers to this as cars that can reach up to 600pp.

I think I did it with Lancia Stratos back then.
I just did it with Audi R8, because 4WD cars to have one that can beat Red Bull Ring even in rain without much trouble.
But you can also use some more gimmicky options like Toyota TS030.

It doesnt really matter much about the PP but how you create the car around it, for example:
going full power might sound good, but will definitly handicap you in the rain,
going full tractiong might give you an edge in race 1, but will see you struggle on the long straights of the other two races.
With that being said, I suggest: sport softs, sport brakes and pads, racing transmission and then mix weight reduction and power increase, without touching anything else.
