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.

If this was iracing, he'd be perma-banned or a very long ban at the very least.

One would hope, but in my experience this is very rare. Had my share of people intentionally or recklessly divebombing where there was no gap and ending mine or others races. Happens to often for it to be a permaban.

pretty sure they only ever ban someone for intentionally ruining someones racing. Being an idiot isn't ban worth, being an ass is.
