TLDR: Quick online races where the game would randomly choose a Car (same car for all players) and a Track. No qualifying (random grid placement). 2/3 Laps depending on the track so the race would last less than 10 minutes.
Motivation:
Am I the only one who doesn't play a lot of Sports mode races because they take a lot ot time? Even the Daily Races take a lot because you need to train before racing so you can get a good qualifying time. I'm a B rank player so I need at least 10 minutes around the track to get a decent lap time. Then you need to wait for the next race to begin. Then you warmup and race and when the 1st race finishes you're already playing the game for almost an hour! I think that is a lot of time for a single competitive online race. I think most of the adults with a 8 hour job agree that it's hard to find 1 hour a day to play!
I know Lobbies are an alternative but it's hard to find a competitive one like the Sports mode races.
Suggestion:
I also know GT6 had a Quick Match (I've played GT6 but never online so I'm only speaking from what I've read online) and my suggestion is something similar to that:
PS: I think this mode would also give some credit to the "car collecting" part of all GT games, as it would "force" players to play with cars that they don't own and never played with. This could be good for Polyphony Digital as it could increase the number of car purshaces in the game as players find out cars they loved to race with.

- Random Car (same for all players)
- Random Track
- Random Grid Placement (no qualifying)
- 2/3 laps (depending on the track - the goal here is that the race would take under 10 minutes)
