When will an actual sim emerge on console?

This one...

Polyphony has said they've been working with the FIA for structuring their online leagues and racing competitions. If the GT Academy is any indication, the sim driver to real race car program through Nissan and Gran Truism, this new GT Sport could be the most streamlined and robust way of building actual race skills and even battle on the road map to get a real car drive.

Unfortunately you're up against people that spend all day every day playing the game.
When I lived in the UK I tried out for it multiple times on PS3 but just couldn't get up the sharp end. Practicing playing videogames mixed with a job and a wife puts a stop to that kind of malarkey.
Although now my shifts in Malaysia mean I get a bit more time to mess about with stuff like this so maybe...

The series does seem to be moving into an even more race focused format with PD linking up with the FIA and I may see myself selling my Xbone for a PS4 quicker than you can say Lucas Ordoñez
