Step1: Complete licenses/Challenges
Step 2:Complete a track enough to get to S-rank
Step 3: Turn the laps up to 99
Step 4: Select a tuned Skyline and away you go.
GTPSP allows you to decide how long of a race and in what car you want rather than forcing you into doing a race you don't have the time or desire to do, like for instance doing 10 laps in a Clio.
Like I said, perfectly adapted to handheld gaming.

Technically, it's good and all but where is it going ? Once I nailed the driving challenges, I don't see any way of progressing. And if I don't progress, I don't get a satisfaction feeling for what I've accomplished. And if I'm not satisfied, I'm not satisfied !
But I'm still glad someone likes it that way. Means there are probably reasons for thoses things I don't like :-) [peace.ak]

Your disappointment at the lack of career mode and sense of progression is understandable but from my point of view it's more of a yearning for the carrot-on-a-stick method where you have a clearly defined goal told to you that you can work towards as opposed to the "do what you like, we'll reward you anyway" method that GTPSP provides.
As for setting a goal for yourself, I would suggest going through all tracks in succcession on each rank before upping the ranks and going through again, perhaps also raising the amount of laps as you go up a rank from say 3-5-10 and beyond. Apart from that, I would suggest finding some cars you really like and going hell for leather in timeattack to beat your own time and see how fast you can get a lap done in a particular car (this also helps with tigthening up your handling). Be creative and create goals for yourself. Just like adult life, no one's going to tell you what to aim for.
@Numanoid:: Sarcasm, the internet, etc, etc. lol.

what you just described there is how i've always played GTA... i've never "finished" a single one...

In fact, I did that too, before and after finishing the story. I always loved to go run/drive in restricted areas (I mean the islands still locked at the beginning of the game) and try to make it the longest, or even get there, drive quite far inside and try coming back to a hideout.
I've got a friend who used to play Need for Speed 2 in LAN with his brother using the cheat to drive any of the normal cars in the traffic. One of them would try to disguise himself in the regular traffic and the other would try to find where he was...
There're always ways to find your own games into the games but does that mean the game shouldn't propose something to begin with ? [peace.ak]

I need goals, I need linearity, I need a sequence of events, I need to play according to the developers vision, I want to experience what the director intended. I don't want this... this freedom thing you all talk about!

I CAN FINALLY *hopefully* FIND ANOTHER SOUL CALIBUR PLAYER.
It's lonely being the only sword fighter in a land of street fighters... #adhocparty

I was so disappointed when they showed bikes for GTHD and then there was nothing in GT5P... it's so fun running a ZX-10R around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. #gt5
