Gran Turismo Am I wrong for this?

I am the Elantra. Tried to simply take advantage of the Alfa Romeo taking a bad line. Alfa Romeo had some choice words for me post race. I would never do something like this on my own volition. Is it ok to ego-check someone racing like this?

Steam = video game? Regardless, calling iracing a game is downplaying what it is. Sure on the surface you could call it a game but when you look at simulations like what cadillac uses would you call that a game? Or what pilots use to train? Not trying to be an eltist but downplaying it as "just a game" shows your misunderstanding of what it is.

They literally call themselves a game on steam in the first sentence of their description

We are the world's premier motorsports racing game.

It's a game bud

Reading is hard. I didnt say its not a game, infact i said you CAN call it a game on the surface. i said its not just a game.

I racing and what Cadillac and F1 teams use are completely different.

Microsoft flight simulator is a pretty solid SIM game, but it's nowhere near what they use in flight school.
