So what is this, just a re-publishing of the game with all the updates included, right?

Yep. And some bonus cars/cash - and probably a different boxart for the disc version.
Most likely the game you've already got installed will simply read the disc as its license and boot up without any changes.
If you don't already have the game installed - such as on a second PS4 - it'll install at 1.39, so you only have a couple of major updates to download. That'll be a bit of a timesaver.

OK so if the price is high I dont see the point, I mean, you can find the regular GT Sport version for as low as 20€, I dont think people would want to pay much more for just a few free cars and some in game cash.

And the time saving of not having to download 18 months of updates.
There's also the base game - v1.00 - reissued as a PS Hits version, for what looks like $18ish.

Assetto Corsa did this a year or two back [Ultimate Edition] which included all previous updates and DLC which was also mainly done for the reasons Famine mentioned. Having missed the game myself during the first year and then regretting it afterwards, the Ultimate edition paved my way to get the game without all the crazy amount of downloads. For new racers that wants to join GTS, this will be most welcome.
Ah apologies, I was looking at the Japanese site. So some territories DO get a physical version of Spec II. It seems very strange to me that they are releasing two new SKUs on Blu-ray with wildly different versions. I guess the "Hits" release is just a repackage of unsold stock.
I wonder if Spec II will be on two discs then, GTS updated to 1.39 is well over 50GB.

Dang, I was hyped up for a second there, thinking they were going to drop a huge update like they did for GT5. :/

So, the big question for me, will this reduce the install size on the Playstation vs the current disc version? I've had to uninstall a couple of games to get GTS to update in the past, I'm hoping this will fix that?

This probably explains why the updates were getting worse.

I read the headline, got excited then realised it is nothing useful. Damn.

don’t see a correlation tbh (also don’t agree that the updates have been getting worse)

This really highlights how short the game was upon its release. Imagine just buying the game and waiting for those 70-80gb full of updates before you play. Hopefully they built a proper database for the next game because in average this one is disappointing.
