Almost every event since Spec II (give-or-take) have been tied to newly added cars (mainly because of "event cover car" status and pre-race dialogues), with only two cars in particular (SF23 and Jimny) having bonus books (containing events) dedicated to them. They even gave new events focusing on two variation livery cars, the Anest Iwata RC F GT3 and GT Movie GT-R GT3 (but not the Mazda Spirit Racing versions of certain Mazda cars, nor the TGR GT Cup livery version of 86 Gr.4) - also note that the HiMedic and GR Corolla are currently the last cars without tie-in events (excluding Spec II cars, as none of events added in that were tied to any of update cars):

In regards to custom race mode, while making my own races can be fun. They don't make up for GT7's extremely short GT Cafe mode for me for a few reasons.
1. They don't pay well enough even after Spec 2.0, I would say 2-4x the current value would be enough.
2. You can only pick only cars in your garage, it should be like in Forza Horizon 5 where you can pick any car as an opponent without owning it.
3. No ability to change color/livery to opponent cars unless once again; you buy a bunch of clones and give them each a different livery. The fact you have to do that is insane when there's racing games before GT7 that allowed you that exact freedom, this is just a needless restriction.
4. The A.I. is too slow.
With that said, it shouldn't be a fill in for a career mode anyway, but rather a bonus mode. It's become a pet peeve of mine whenever companies think that because they made this mode, that means it's automatically okay to short-shaft somewhere else.

The livery thing would be so helpful. And the AI, you can balance it out to a degree and make it decently competitive but really, just let me pick the most tuned up AI they have, because it’s already in the game. My only thought as to why it isn’t available is that, maybe the tuned up AI seen in the Human Comedy endurances and the Clubman Cup+ events have custom path finding/driving ability specifically for those tracks?
But then again, that’s a logical explanation. PD have shown that they don’t always follow that. So it’s very possible that they can drag and drop the fastest AI they have into a difficulty option for the main game and custom race, but they just choose not to.

With some of the unusual bugs we've seen and dealt with over the years since GT7's release, I wouldn't be surprised if these specific problems are rooted in dodgy code that they can't get around and they are too embarrassed to address.
Personally I have found Quick Race to be a useful, if shallow, stop-gap. With fully amplified bonus payouts you are able to choose any car and track combo and have a decent bit of fun for okay profit.
The problem of course, is the absence of difficulty settings and choice of race length.

Genesis Raceway? Must be a really long track, unless it took more inspiration from their 80's Phil Collins era stuff which was more mainstream.Genesis Raceway - fictional track

Haha, they haven't even released a list yet... way to let everyone know you put zero thought and 100% emotion into your baseless posts!
The crew and Forza have terrible "physics" models that makes any car included in them worthless. GT7 has a great handling model, regardless of what any wannabe armchair racer says.
Maximize profits? I spent $60 something dollars buying GT7 over two years ago, and they haven't gotten a dime from me and 99% of us since, yet there are dozens of updates that gave us free stuff regularly. Sure a good way to make a profit, huh?
Once again, your biased emotions get in the way of any rational thought. If I were the blocking type, you'd be on the list, but I'm not, so let's see what more nonsense you can invent to complain about.

This is exactly why I play GT7 regularly instead of The Crew Motorfest or Forza. The core driving experience is fantastic and when you combine that with the many customisation options and the livery editor with the decal uploader, you can't go past it. There are soo many things you can do to so many cars and it's just soo easy. More than that, the game has a certain charm and character with corny sound effects, funny animations, 3 different dealerships and alternative music which you don't here in any other racing games. There's a reason why GT is still at the very top of the racing game table.

An observation on how PD aren't great at the day-to-day live service stuff, separate from the update parts:
This week's new Daily Race C has a +600% modifier to credits received. But if you're not already plugged in to Sport Mode (or relevant social media) you aren't going to know about it - it's not on the news splash screen, and it's not visible on the main map, you have to go into Sport Mode to see it. So nobody who doesn't already go into Sport Mode is going to see it, and as such that bonus isn't going to do its job of getting people to play the mode.

I agree, there is so much thing to do with GT7. Trying many cars with many custom liveries and swapping some ridiculous engine, tune it or race it stock. If only they add more 30 minutes or 1 hour races and raise some of the race payouts, it's excellent.

I mean.. I think they've done it twice since launch? Maybe three times? They're not really 'doing' it as a thing.

I think I've worked something out.
The reason why they made that race +600% is because it's another case of them copying a race from the live event, like they did with the new X2019 time trial.
This event is taken from the Nations Cup sprint race, before the grand final. That likely means that these are going to be the road cars in use for the live event too:

So, with the +600% modifier, how many credits do you win after being punted off at T1 and finishing last?

Sounds like more than it is. To give you an idea of the credit rewards, here are some statistics I collected when we had +600% another time:

Well, I can guarantee I didn't do that, so maybe you guys are right. Have either of you noticed that (most) everyone doesn't know how to drive this track very well? Or maybe it's just the B/C level drivers. I mean, this last race I started out third, finished third, and my times were abysmal. I...

So much to do in game huh? Does that mean single player now actually has an offline career with races that require a licence above A class?
