There are also three DLC packs coming our way sometime after the update, consisting of new cars, new tracks and "racing gear".
Last but not least, in honour of Sebastian Vettel´s second F1 world championship accomplished today in Suzuka, Japan every player that logs into GT´s servers within a week from now will receive the Red Bull X2010 as a gift (find it under [GT mode]>[Community]>[Gift])! There is also a new time trial where you can race your new jewel in aforementioned Suzuka and make 5.000.000 credits!

Wait a minute. You´re A-Spec Lvl 5 / B-Spec Lvl 0 with a total driven distance of 148,0 km. And you have six cars. That´s not exactly what I call "played the shit out of".
