I'm one of these guys who likes the pick-up-and-play aspects of racing games, and ever since GT5 until GT Sport, Gran Turismo has been lacking far behind in this aspect, as they only let us sample very few cars, and none get added and/or unlocked for use in these game modes, which promotes excessive grinding and could make the game become boring and tedious just to get everything that isn't there in that mode.
I love the idea of Gran Turismo's progression model, but leave that in the Campaign Mode. Allow people to "jump in and go" as they play through the game, especially here in this mode. It's time they should redefine Arcade Mode as a "free play" mode and not something half-assed or bare-bones, especially with the functionality and car selection.
Remember, Arcade Mode is only available when you're offline, and majority of the game's features require a constant internet connection (PS Plus not mandatory though, only mandatory for multiplayer).
I'm thinking GT7 should have an Arcade Mode similar to that of Gran Turismo 3 or the first two Forza games, with the functionality of GT Sport and custom championships, Assetto Corsa-style. That way, there's sort of some "past, present and future" to it.
It should look like this:
Single Race Challenges (similar to "Single Race" and not Custom Race in GT Sport) and Time Trial Challenges should be used as means to unlock more cars for use in the other modes, where we start off with a good majority of the game's car list, then go on to unlock all the rest, and plus, we can use our Garage cars too.
Cars in Arcade Mode should be split into the following:
There should also be a percentage showing how many percent of all the cars in the game you have unlocked in Arcade Mode so far.
NOTE: As compared to the cars in your Garage, Arcade Mode cars have limitations, such as:

It should look like this:

- Time Trial Challenge
- Custom Race
- Free Time Trial
- Drift Trial
- Custom Championship
- 2-Player Battle

Cars in Arcade Mode should be split into the following:
- Garage Cars
- All Available Cars (all sorted by their respective manufacturers.)
- Vision GT (separate folder for Vision Gran Turismo cars.)
There should also be a percentage showing how many percent of all the cars in the game you have unlocked in Arcade Mode so far.
NOTE: As compared to the cars in your Garage, Arcade Mode cars have limitations, such as:
- Only car-specific colors can be used (no custom liveries and other such customization)
- Only basic, car-specific tuning can be done (no performance upgrades and other parameters found in upgraded cars)
- Credits, Mileage Points, XP and progress towards the Daily Workout system will not be earned driving those cars
