With the amount of cars and tracks present in the game, I think the term "Super Prologue" would be more appropriate...

They won't have competing products on the same system releasing essentially at the same time, so IMO GTS on PS5 is doubtful.
GT5 went offline roughly 6 months after GT6, and GT6 went offline roughly 6 months after GTS.
So if PD stay the course, and GT7 is a launch title (say November 2020), I'd expect GTS to go offline May 2021

Are there any semblance of a Gran Turismo leaker? Someone that could give us hints this is true?

Amar is gone and there’s no other real insider posting here. Some bits leak thru the live events like a rough roadmap, but that’s it. And since there’s no live events planned for 2020, I don’t see many leaks happening in the near future.

that sucks. What happened with Amar? I remember him posting on Era I think at some point, but I haven't read a post by him anywhere these days.
Im... hoping PD actually want to communicate with us this time.. their usual approach didn't set the world on fire with Sport sales.

He posted on Era pretty recently regarding the whole Next Level Racing situation - he said that he knows as much as we do

If what we're all expecting, PS5=GT7, if GT7 is on time, so is PS5.
But GT is never on time.

K, thanks, actually didn't know that. Weird how tight lipped things are over at PS HQ.. I know Thuway at some point before Sport was announced also knew details about it, he hasn't said anything either.
All we know is.. Kaz said updates will become modest.. and the game is quite old now.. something must be brewing.
lol I remember hoping we'd get GT2000/GT3 at launch.. and they didn't end up making PS2 launch. Hell.. the E3 1999 I think.. the journalists were shocked that while at E3, PD had to finish adding wheels to cars in the demo 24 hours before the game had to be shown off to the public/press. PD and time management.

There are very few people in the know when it comes to Polyphony. Jordan can tease but will never leak anything for obvious reasons (and it's a matter of respect by the way for Poly).
A year ago, I found actual evidence that "Gran Turismo 7" was in development. And guess what? No insider, leaker or media reported that. However, they all reported that "leaked" logo.
The PS5 reveal is hopefully very soon!

Well I feel like the choice is easier considering Sony's Consoles aren't known for repeated delays.
Not really. Took a good while to get FIA up and running. I don't know how long it took to generate large sales from GTS debut to GTS with GT League content to GTS when FIA was in full swing.
Whatever "Sport Mode" is named in GT7, it'll probably be the same amount of numbers now. This is with people still at home, mind you.

GT6 was on time.
I mean, I’ve heard PD’s staff mentioning GT7 explicitly at a live event back in February 2019 so its development is basically confirmed long time, just not publicly revealed. From what I’ve heard they seemed pretty confident with late 2020 launch.

That's what I'm saying. It could be the same time frame as GTS debut thru the debut of FIA.
I don't think PD are looking at waiting until 100mil people buy a PS5. Even with 100mil people using a PS4, Sport Mode numbers are already low.
FIA Championships only need 24-48 players anyway. I'm sure in that context, an FIA Championship could still happen. Next year or not.
As for normal Sport Mode, maybe the amount equaling the number of original beta players? Again, I don't know any numbers from GTS debut to when people wanted to buy GTS because of GT League DLC thru FIA debut.

A late 2020 launch makes a lot of sense.
Consider that Sony have had an exclusive racing game to go alongside their gaming consoles during the release window. The PS2 had Ridge Racer 5 (and GT3 a few months later), the PS3 had Ridge Racer 7, and the PS4 had Driveclub during release year (though the initial plan was for it to be a launch title).
With the Ridge Racer name being unused for an extended period of time, and Evolution Studios no longer existing, they probably need another studio to have something ready in time...

You forget the disasterious launch Driveclub had though. Also, I'm not so sure Sony necessarily NEED a Racing game as a launch title to move units consider many of their heavy hitters like Zero Dawn did that enough. Hell I think Gran Turismo isn't quite the system moving name it once was and I'm almost certain with the amount of big Exclusives Sony had, Gran Turismo might no longer be Priority one at Launch like some people want to believe.

There's a bit of missing context here for that release, though: GT6 was going to come out that month, period, regardless of the state it was in. And that's basically what happened, to not put too fine a point on it. As it was Sony pushed it back as far as they probably could without running into inventory restocking issues before Christmas. If PD had managed to screw up that release date, Sony may very well have just cancelled the game outright on PS3 and moved it to PS4. It was one of the last major PS3 games in the PS3's last major holiday season, and Sony was basically offering it as such from the day it was first announced.
It's why seemingly everything that was criticized about GT6 while it was in its pre-release hype cycle was called a "placeholder" by PD that would be looked into later as damage control and why that phrase became such a joke when virtually none of it was; it's probably why the game released in a barebones state (again!) compared to the state GT5 had been built up to by that point; and it's almost certainly why the main feature that PD had sold people on as a reason to buy the game instead of keeping GT5 didn't come out until well over a year had passed since release (in an extremely stripped down, external implementation).
