I hope they keep adding content. I'm just not confident that using a developing model like that is a good idea. You get a lower meta since reviews look at the game as it launched and the initial lack of content can impact the user base in a way that it never recovers.
Driveclub is a terrible example of this kind of model, it had tons of hype but got disappointing reviews. The game improved afterwards, but the damage was done and sales were below expectations. I don't think mimicking the business model of a game that basically killed the studio that created it is a good idea at all.
Anyway, GTS isn't suffering from terrible servers issues of DC. The big franchise name attached to it also helps people to be more forgiving and it's harder to lose the hype. They also dodged a bullet by making it a spin-off, if it was called GT7 the critics would have murdered the game.
If they keep adding content and create meaningful events this could become a hit. I mean, organize an official FIA big e-sports tournament. Maybe like GT Academy, with the top prize being a contract as a pro racer. E-sports still is too dominated by shooters, MOBA, strategy and fighting games, they could carve a niche.
