• Races and Championships: Win the Championship or races that the Menu Book specifies to complete it.
• World Map objectives: These objectives are very simple and introduce you to the basics of new pavilions that you unlock, such as the Tuning Shop, GT Auto, and the Licence Centre.

When Luca presents you with a Menu Book, you can press the ‘Learn More’ button to get more details on your objectives. You can also click the ‘i’ hints icon to get car recommendations for races and more to make completing your Menu Book easier. When you use the World Map to complete your Menu Book, look for the gold compass icon to see where you need to go.
