Yep, I think you're on the right track there.I wonder if anyone is considering the possibility that eSports really is the focus of this game. That Kaz has completely tossed aside the old formula and started from scratch. I know a lot of people are holding out hope for some mishmash of eSports and old style GT games, but it's quite possible that all this delay is to iron out and perfect the whole online/eSports aspect of the game. It would certainly explain a lot of things, mainly the lack of information and the lack of new content in the various videos so far. Perhaps there isn't any new content and much of the behind the scenes work is unleashing what Kaz hopes to be an eSports phenomenon onto the gaming world.
With dedicated servers for Sports Mode, the TV spectator mode, and multi-region Cups.
Plus the Sportsmanship and penalty systems.
And reportedly FIA officials overseeing the whole shebang.
I feel VR is also playing a role, as I suspect PD want that running on day 1.
I'm not so convinced with laying any blame on features such as damage, as I think they would be happy to introduce that in a later update if they feel it isn't up to scratch but the rest of the game is ready to go.
