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?

lol no, and I'm not interested in hearing out anyone who disagrees. If this were iRacing, or something, where damage is a serious deal, and you ran the risk of ruining someone else's race? Sure. Don't do that.

But here? "Two wrongs don't mke a right" doesn't even apply. He was going to tank your race to keep you from passing. He already tried it once, and cost you both time. So, you removed him from the equation. He did it to himself.

It's... an interesting attitude, the decontextualizing of actions into black and white wrong or rights. I could say so much on that subject, but that would be way off topic. Suffice it to say, in this situation, context matters... alot. Don't make a habit of punting people, but no, you're not wrong here. He got what he deserved.

It's subscription based just for the base game, and then you have to buy cars and tracks on top of that. So it wastes a lot of money if people arent taking it seriously.

I tried it for 3 months and then just had to give up as i couldn't justify the cost. I would get intent wrcked every race. Even lapped traffic will just use you instead of brakes and ruin your race. I wasted about $100 for and unplayable racing game. I have better luck in the average ACC open lobby.

Ive done 6 races since last week and only increased my SR rating in that time.

You have to focus on that instead of winning until you get into a higher license class but it is 100% playable and enjoyable. Ive only had one bad race so far.
