Seems like a weird statement to make but in saying that I enjoy racing games and am not into cars in the least so yeah.

Not really "Into cars" in the manner he is speaking of, I'm not a fanatic but I want a single player progression. It's not like it's exactly hard to throw something together, Project cars had one of the most bare bones single player experiences along with DIRT rally but because everything else worked in those games the bare framework just...worked. In fact going to far with the single player is a downside these days like what codemasters ended up doing to dirt 3 and 4 or how Pcars 2 locking off content kinda made it seem cheaper. Just give us a championship for each car class or even just road, GT3 and LMP. The economy is already there, the UI from sport mode could easily be tweaked, it wouldn't take the full team to start working from the ground up. This is what full on perfectionism gets you, Kojima has the same problem.

Yeah, I don't get how hard it is to throw together a single player experience.

I've played quite a bit of Forza sim games and in a nut shell its just a random track with some random type of car used. Race, get money/xp, repeat.

Simply offering that is motivation to continue playing.

You can set up any custom race you want and get money/mileage/xp. You have complete freedom to make your own. Of course there's no pat on the back for winning a championship. GT Sport adds the sport mode (next to lobby based multiplayer) as 'campaign', the game is designed to get you to play online after learning how to race. They figured improving your driver and sportmanship rating (next to making money/mileage/xp for cars and extra) is the motivation to continue playing.

This article actually has a very relevant quote

Try to understand what the author wished to do, and do not blame him for not achieving what he did not attempt.
GT Sport is designed to get you to learn the tracks, how to handle different situations and how to pass others safely. Then it wants you to play nice with others. It's doing a good job achieving that so far.
