Depends on what you mean by "full game". To me, Gran Turismo Sport feels like a full game, by that I mean it feels like a complete statement. They've decided to focus on online multiplayer, on improving your driving skills though practice more than improving you car through money, and they've succeeded at that. Yes they've added a single-player mode in December, and the AI is better than the previous game, but the online is really where it's at. And I understand it can be pretty intimidating, myself included, I would skip daily races because I didn't feel confident in my skills, but you can't get better until you try. Maybe you'll make a few mistakes and drop back the order, but you can still salvage it and gain a few positions. I haven't a won a single race yet, but I've almost always improved by starting position, and when I got my first pole position and fastest lap, it felt like a million bucks! You can still have an amazing race if you don't win. I've done 12 races total in Sport mode (ranked matches) and twice I've had other racers congratulate me on putting up a good clean fight. Playing online is exhausting, it requires a lot of concentration, but it feels so satisfying.
If you wanna talk about updates, yeah we've had updates pretty much every month, with new cars and tracks like Monza, Tsukuba and Le Mans added. Even fictional circuits like Tokyo Expressway East Inner Loop, Dragon Trail Seaside, Blue Moon Bay Infield A and Autodrome Lago Maggiore are pretty great!
As for a future Gran Turismo 7... I doubt it, I doubt we'll come back to a more single-player focused entry anytime soon. As much as people scream for a giant caRPG, I've played some Gran Turismo 3 last year and when you get enough good parts or get a car that is faster than the opposition, the single-player becomes trivial. And racing against real people is so much better than racing against AI, or AI pretending to race like real people. (I'm lookin' at you Forza!)
