The only way I keep this game fresh is leaving it alone for a couple of weeks before coming back just to grind for money and collect some more cars. Recently, I bought another Sileighty duplicate because it was in Midnight purple, the 2017 Super GT Lexus RCF and Nissan GT-R (I already had the Raybrig NSX) for the GT Cafe reward. Also, I wanted to buy those at some point. Then I grinded to buy the 2008 Super GT cars. Got myself the newer Alpine A110 (I already had the old one).
The cool thing about the 2008 SGT Cars is that I don't have to detune them to compete in the 800PP events, so I can use those to grind on Sardenga. I'm right now just alternating with more cars on that race to try to mix things up somewhat.
Outside that, I keep things fresh by every so often playing with the livery editor. Either bringing back & updating liveries I made on GT Sport or making new ones. Which is usually replica paints.

Speaking of McLaren, do you have the P1 GTR? I was wondering if I could change the exhaust....

Can you explain what you mean by this? You have been making a number of short and confusing posts recently that make no sense without any context given.

- The failed experiment entitled “California”.
A big thing for me was discovering this group:
Car of the Week: 201 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition
We are officially back on GTS for Beater or Sleeper COTW. This series allows everyone the chance to test out a car every week and be the judge of whether it receives the title of beater or sleeper. At the end of the year we will crown one special car as Car of the Year. We will test the cars...
www.gtplanet.net
It actually made me give a crap about cars besides race cars in sport mode. It made me really start appreciating Gran Turismo for what it is.
COTW will be coming to GT7 soon 👍🏼

Then my best idea is for you to do more Sport Mode - especially the championships - and see how high you can rank in your region, country, and so on.
EDIT: Also, I personally plan to acquire two McLaren F1s, myself. One in Base Silver, and one in Historic Orange. I've already bought one F1, in the former color. Eventually, between the two F1s, I plan to leave one as stock (barring the purchase of some additional tire compounds) and modify another, including the installation of a widebody.

I sometimes wonder how different the community reaction to GT7 would be if PD simply called it "Gran Turismo" ... as in a reboot of the series. In many ways GT7 feels like a reboot, in that the game tries to capture the 'soul' of the series and go back to the roots, not unlike how many reboots are marketed. It also seemingly follows the path many reboots follow where a game that tries a different direction gets released into the series with many fans of the 'classic' gameplay disgruntled over the new direction and thus the response to the outcry is to then create a new title that attempts to capitalize on the nostalgia of past installments.

I don't think it would change much. Either way its a £70 or whatever it was game with its biggest problem being the lack of repeatable singleplayer content. The core complaint would be the same, and it would still be something they could fix in a couple of weeks.
Reboot or not, the game fails at being a fun game, not necessarily just a fun Gran Turismo game. I'd have few qualms remaining if they increased payouts for another handful of events (and custom races) to match the existing big 4 events just so the game has more actual variety.

Once Gt Sport was named and Kaz said it's a new chapter, I felt the franchise should just be Gran Turismo. PD could have used Gran Turismo: World Tour, instead of "7".
No doubt, some would ask why PD gave it a worded title instead of a "real Gran Turismo" being a numbered title. Could have numbered it with the year for all I care.

One of the complaints I've often seen expressed is that GT7 fails to be a proper sequel to the series, many of said complaints seem to mention that their thinking is due to it being a numbered title, so that's what got me thinking about it. Thanks for the replies.

For sure. Thing is, when Kaz says what he says via translator, we still don't know what he's saying. If GT7 is a part of this next chapter in the series, is it a sequel? Is it something new that is to remind players of past games and feel new to those new to the genre and series?
I mean, that's what Kaz was saying. He wants new players to experience what past players felt, when they/we first played the series.

It's more that people wanted a full game when they paid the full AAA asking price.
When you buy a cup of coffee, you wouldn't be happy with an empty cup and a vague promise that you'll get a slow drip of coffee over the course of the next two years. You would be equally unhappy if you're told, "don't complain, you can always make your own coffee."

Now that I think about it, the single player in this game is really boring compared to other AAA titles I've played recently.
I know a lot of people here play a lot of other racing games and tend to compare GT7 to them. I, on the other hand, play a ton of all sorts of games. You're on my friends list - take a look at my trophy list and you'll get an idea.
So, from my perspective, when taking out the multiplayer content which I do very much enjoy on the occasional times I play, the single player was very rarely fun. It was challenging at times, especially with the old physics; it was a grind for sure; and the graphics at times has been awe inspiring, but I can only remember the one time I had real fun and that was the Cappuccino menu book.
I really do feel bad for the people who bought this game for the single player content. Some people can only afford to buy so many games and we were all heavily misled by the marketing.
The point you mention, that championships can't even be replayed, is a big one. Also, a lot of cars are unaffordable unless you have the skill to gold the challenges and that automatically alienates a significant portion of the people who bought the game.

Yes, you can repeat them as many times as you want.
I think some people spend so much time complaining, they don't actually check these things first.

It defends on how you define fun and what you're doing. I get enjoyment out of custom races, time trials, circuit experiences, etc. If you're only replaying the same 3 or 4 events mindlessly to get credits, as some are because they want all the vehicles, then I agree it can get dull pretty quick.
Should be clear, I'm not blaming the players for grinding. Either the cars should be cheaper or payouts should be more equal across the board, ie. custom races should pay the same as equivalent World Circuit races.

I suppose so but I personally don't see how doing a CE, for example, can be more fun than taking on robot dinosaurs or evading cultists or fighting Mongols in Japan.
Completing a CE can be rewarding, no doubt. But I won't equate rewarding with fun, necessarily. I guess it's the design philosophy they chose: a lot of people out there enjoy grindy type gameplay so PD caters to them. Grind out the car collection, grind out the circuit experience, etc. There are so many other games I'd rather play offline. Almost every other game.

I like the sandbox factor of the game. I get bored doing the same thing over and over so I like to sometimes race online, sometimes do a time trail, circuit experience or licence, sometimes make a new livery, sometimes just browse other liveries and photos, sometimes try a single player race that I've not won yet, recently or with a different car, sometimes I grind one of the high paying races to save up for my car collection. And often I just do a custom race of my own making.
I find imagination to be the solution to boredom.
That way I keep playing and most importantly keep having fun.
