Is this game open world?

Is this game gonna be open world? Making me drive 5 mins to start a race? I'm not interested in Payback if it is. I have Forza Horizon 3 but i don't play it much because it's open world. So annoying having to drive around to get to events and stuff. 

I know it will have single player which looks cool but I want a set of tracks to play instantly online or offline.

Payback is a full open world racing game,just like Forza Horizon 3.Instead of driving 5 minutes to your destination,you can choose to transfer your car directly to your destination in NFS 2015 and earlier NFS works.I think Payback will definitely keep this feature.

You really need to read up on this game. If you do not like open world racing games maybe you shouldn't be buying games like this or Forza Horizon. How do you like driving games but not like driving?

Yes , Need For Speed Payback is an open-world driving game.

Just like Forza Horizon 3.
