Simulators don't necessarily make the most fun gaming experience. I mean if somebody were to make a relistic combat simulator, it wouldn't be all that fun. Lots of tedium and boredom with moments of panic combined with a lot of I'm dead instantly and I don't know how.
Flight simulator comes to mind. They made it a very realistic experience. But it's not that enjoyable unless you're an aviation nut.

The thing is, GT5 always aimed to be just this, a realistic depiction of the racing world. Probably it's still far from being actually real, but it's as close as it gets, and for all that it's worth, GT5 was always mentioned for that.
I'm not saying everyone should enjoy it, it isn't a game for everyone, but I think gamers shouldn't look for things in a game which weren't there from the get go and were never promised as well. GT5 is a game for racing fans and car nuts, it's the GT legacy and each new iteration delves further into it. After more than 10 years, I don't know why people are expecting for it to transform into something that it is not.
That's like asking a Zelda game to stop being an adventure game and become an JRPG, FIFA or PES to become a football manager or Call of Duty/Halo to become a Counter Strike type of game. Things are what they are and should be evaluated for so.

I'm not sure if I agree with you that the game is just for fans and car nuts.
Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.
