Is it just me that thinks the menu's are just the intro to unlock the circuits and the subsequent events at each of them which is more the career mode?
It is split in to 2 things, race performance (cups you'll win) and the collector points side of the game? The menus seem to be helping you progress the collector side of things but aren't doing that much on the actual racing career side? I am menu 30 something now and have absolute loads of actual races on each circuit to do over the coming months and years.
