Mod Abuse:
- Yamauchi says that the content from GT Mode is still in GT Sport, but is presented differently
- Tuning is simplified because younger players apparently don't know about cars as much (lol)
- They don't want to waste time and resources making crappy "old cars" in 4K just to support a full campaign mode like before
- Mission Challenges will offer the same sort of racing content that GT Mode had
- The World Map is now a menu because it's easier to understand and they want it to be more accessible
There are things to discuss here, and we don't need to reduce it to OMG NO GT MODE, CUT OUT BECAUSE PEOPLE LACK CAR KNOWLEDGE like the article did. They obviously did it for clickbait and because they are a driving enthusiast site. We don't have to do that here.
Bad original OP:
As the title says, I found an interesting article stating that gamers dont have car knowledge anymore. They dont know how to upgrade a car or what an air filter does.
Edit*
Maybe there wasnt a 100% correlation with Campaign being cut. Am I interpretting this the wrong way?

But at the game's official launch in Modena, Italy, Yamauchi told Driving that all the elements of GT Mode are in fact still in the game, but it has been re-packaged to suit a new generation of gamers.
”In a narrow sense, the part that was the GT Mode in the past is now called Mission Challenge," he said. ”It's single player, there are various different types of races, from the very short to the very long, with different regulations, and you can tune up the cars that you purchased to participate in those races."
”When people are talking about there's no campaign mode, or no GT Mode anymore, that's not quite true," Yamauchi told us. ”It's just a change to the UI (user interface). All the things that you were able to do in the past in those modes are in the game."
Instead of the familiar menu system, laid out like a map of the world with a home area that features your garage, as in previous Gran Turismo games, GT Sport features a horizontal menu with dropdrown sub-menus, much like the ones found on many websites and echoing the XMB (Xross Media Bar) found on the Playstation's home menu.
This new approach will be alien to GT fans, but was necessary, according to Yamauchi. ”Right now we have a very well organised menu and top menu, but if we'd placed all the features you see in the menus into a map format, I think they [players] would have felt it to be the exact same thing we had in the past," he said.
As part of this UI update, the vehicle tuning system has been ”simplified" due to reduced knowledge of how cars work, he adds.
”Twenty years ago, when we did the first Gran Turismo, people knew what happens when you change an air filter; people knew what increased compression ratios do to your car. But the new users don't have that knowledge anymore because they're not as interested in the cars, so we've simplified that area [of the game] so you can do the exact same thing you were doing in the past, but it's more user-friendly for people just getting into cars."
