Okay, first off, this thread is what YOU think should be done to Gran Turismo 6's single player mode to make it better and to add some sort of story/career aspect to it.
Let's start off with mine.
Beginning
1st time racer, you have 4 choices for your future - F1, Touring Cars, Le Mans, or Rally
F1
You start with karting. You start with 3 local sponsors (can be made-up) and when you start to win more and more races, you get more sponsors = more cash every win. As you start to win more sponsors, you enter championships. You either go for as many seasons and championships as you want. Based on your choice, you can choose to stay or move up a level - Formula Cars.
Either Formula Cars will do (3000, Ford etc.) You race in Formula leagues and championships and you start to gain even MORE sponsors until you are allowed to go for one more season (or two) depending on your choice. You are only allowed to move to Formula One if you have done 2 types of Formula Cars and won a championship in both categories. As soon as you join Formula One, you have many sponsors and contracts. Each race will give you tons of money depending on your team.
Touring Cars/Rally
You can either start with karts or buy a used car (or new) and try to join car clubs. Join leagues and race to gain money and sponsors. Invest your money in your car and try to improve it. Random races in the season there will be someone from a high-end team that will watch your races.
You choose between Rally or Touring Cars when you earn enough money.
The person who will hire you gives you 2 choices, rally or touring cars.
Rally
You join rally, that person gives you a car to test yourself with. He trains you in either forests or backroads or even dirt circuits. You do Special Stages in each race and will have to do a lot of races with locals until you hit the big leagues and gain sponsors and more teams will recognize you. They then give you an option to choose a Rally Team to join. You join that selected team and get cash depending on what the team says they'll give you. You do either Rally Stages, Pikes Peak, WRC, or dirt rallying. You choose, and you gain money for the races you win and lose teams if you... well, lose.
Touring Cars
Much more complex. You find a team and try your best to prove yourself to them. You will do more races until they accept you in. They are now your main sponsor. You race until they allow you to join their team in a certain touring car league (BTC, DTM etc.)
As soon as you take the desired league you will therefore drive tracks around the world and drive with your team for championships. You will gain more sponsors and will give you big payouts per win. You will have to retire at some point, and gain more rivals, allies in your races. As soon as you retire from Touring Cars, you can skip part 1 for each of the 3 other choices in your future and go ahead to the big leagues such as for rallying, Le Mans, or Formula One.
Le Mans
Proving yourself to become a Le Mans driver is possibly the hardest out of all 4 of these. You start with karting, then you will have to try to gain enough money to buy yourself into a team that competes in the European or American Le Mans series. (Driving in Touring Cars and getting to the top and switching to Le Mans after will make this easier) You will have to prove yourself to be one of the best and skilled drivers around. You will however, still have to compete and win amateur endurance races and get noticed before you move on to prove yourself.
After you win these races you will be asked by a representative of either Audi or Peugeot to drive as backup for them. Try to beat the times in practice sessions and test sessions set by the reigning champion. The challenge will be hard.
Then, you have to compete in more larger endurance races representing your team and win a lot until your team decides you can join their LMP league. You will drive for the team as team mate of 3 other drivers. (Note: Just like in real life, you can race for a set amount of time and then let your team mates race.) You enter the biggest endurance races like Sebring and 24h of Le Mans and win until you feel that it is enough and you either retire or join another league of racing.

Leave your replies below and say your thoughts on my story. Add your own, too. Note, after you beat these race leagues the amount of money you have left over can be used to buy other cars in the game and use THOSE cars to race against old GT traditional A-Spec mode. As this part is for career. Of course, you can skip this and just go to traditional A-Spec but this is more of a *gain money for A-Spec* sort of thing. Something to do other than grind, you know? So this should help with boredom of grinding/online races if you were to get tired of it. Live life, dream big, like any other racing driver would.
