Menu Book 3
Menu Book 3 requires you to collect three European Classic Compacts. You will unlock a roulette ticket, and the High Speed Ring in Japan as your rewards.
Before starting the first race, go to your Garage and switch to the Toyota Aqua. It is the fastest of the three cars you have earned so far, and although you could succeed with any of the cars you own, why not give yourself the best opportunity?
While you are here, claim your roulette ticket from the gifts section, as you could win a brand new car… Watch below to see what we earned.
Back to the Menu Book, all three races are in Europe, so start with the Italian one, the Sunday Cup at Lake Maggiore Circuit. Lake Maggiore is a simple circuit, with flowing corners and long straights.
Third or higher here will earn you the Fiat 500 F ‘68, a delightful and iconic little piece of Italian motor heritage.
The Toyota here should clean up, so focus on keeping it clean to bag that 50% extra clean race bonus at the end. The 5,000 from the roulette ticket, and the 7,500 credits from the clean race win brought us up to 42,000 credits.
Next up, we have the Sunday Cup Classic, at Goodwood. This race will earn us the Mini Cooper ‘S’ ‘65, and takes place at Goodwood Motor Circuit. Again, we are going in the Toyota, but take the Honda if you’d prefer.
You should easily breeze past the field in the first half of the first lap, but take a little extra care as this circuit is marginally more difficult than the Maggiore. The track is not as wide, and the surface is slippery. To protect our clean race bonus, we took extra care in the first few sectors, as almost immediately after starting the race the Mini in front got quite out of shape (watch the start of the video to see for yourself!), and the comfort tyres our stock Toyota was running on weren’t very sticky. We only got 5,000 credits for winning this race as a little trip onto the grass cost us our clean race bonus. Nevertheless, we collected our Mini and moved on to Brands Hatch.
The Indy Circuit at Brands Hatch is a fun little track but can be challenging because of its changes in height, and its narrow width. Third or better here will win the Volkswagen 1200 ‘66 (beetle).
Sticking with the Toyota, make sure you don’t run wide in turn 1, as the gravel will significantly hamper your chances of victory. Focus on having a clean race and staying on track, and the win will come easily. You’ll notice in our attempt, we backed out of a few opportunities in favour of not risking our clean race bonus, then on the second lap once we were easily in the lead, touched the gravel coming out of turn one and nearly threw the whole thing away. So lessons to be learned there, treat turn one with respect.
After this race, we finished Menu Book 3 with 54,500 credits, taking 5,000 from roulette tickets, 7,500 from race one, 5,000 from race two, and 7,500 from race 3.
Once you return to the Cafe, you will unlock the Tuning Shop, and receive another roulette ticket as your reward.
