Menu Book 11
Gran Turismo 7 Menu Book 11: French Hot Hatch Collection
For Menu Book 11, you are given a French Hot Hatches Collection to complete. You’ll have to acquire a Citroen DS 3 Racing ‘11, a Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport ‘14, and a Renault Clio R.S. 220 Trophy ‘16. You may have already earned the Renault from the National B Licence, but we’ll cover all three races anyway.
Before we get started, we had another roulette ticket to claim, for daily driving.
Anyway, the first event for this Menu Book is the European Sunday Cup 500, at Deep Forest Raceway. You need to have a car from the UK, Germany, France, Italy, or Austria, so use your Renault Clio RS.
Purchase some Sports Soft tyres for your car to make life easy.
Just like before, we took ours to the Tuning Shop and purchased some Sports Soft tyres, for 3,800 credits. This is entirely optional, but the purposes of this guide is to give you an easy route through these Menu Books, and a tyres upgrade definitely helps with that.
If you don’t want to use the Clio, go to the event screen and select Change Car, you can see what other vehicles are eligible to enter.

Before the race, you’ll be introduced to another face, Florent Pagandet, who gives you some advice. He says to master Deep Forest, you need to do well through the S-bend section, and control throttle on the inclines. The track has a somewhat tricky section in the middle with a few esses, finding the optimal line through here may take a bit of practice but as long as you don’t enter the corners too fast and run wide you shouldn’t lose too much speed. Finish this race in first and you will earn 10,000 credits, plus another 5,000 if you achieved the clean race bonus, as well as the Citroen DS 3 Racing ‘11.

The second event takes place at Sardegna, and is introduced by Mikail Hizal, who tells you he’s been interested in cars since age three. We’re taking our Renault Clio again, with it’s Sports Soft tyres. This circuit is fairly straightforward, the AI are not very quick around here and you should easily pass them. Our biggest challenge was not getting distracted by the mountain views. We ran wide right at the end after getting distracted and lost our clean race bonus, collecting only 10,000 credits for the win, and the Peugeot 208 GTi.
European Sunday Cup 500 – Brands Hatch 500
European Sunday Cup 500 – Brands Hatch 500
The third race takes place at Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit, where our old friend Coque Lopez tells us we should try to get our National A Licence. Brands Hatch is a narrow circuit in places, so you’ll be glad of those sports tyres, and the Grand Prix Circuit is significantly longer than the Indy Circuit layout we raced at last time we were here.
This race is completely unnecessary for this Menu Book, but you can earn some extra credits and complete the Sunday Cup 500 so why not?!
We won an extra 15,000 here (10,000 + 5,000 clean race bonus), bringing our balance up to 338,850.
