Another counterpoint (although I totally understand where this sentiment comes from): Pro Gran Turismo players have been banned from competing as gentlemen drivers because they're too good. For folks not familiar with the concept of a "gentleman driver", there are plenty of racing series that pair amateur drivers with pro drivers to compete in teams. Historically, the gentleman driver provided the funding for the team. These were wealthy enthusiasts who were often quite good, but not good enough to be professional. However, it's not actually required that the gentlemen driver fund the team. This encouraged teams to seek out the best non-pro drivers possible, which in this case, happened to be some pro Gran Turismo players. https://jalopnik.com/expert-gran-turismo-drivers-cant-race-in-real-life-beca-5982998 https://jalopnik.com/expert-gran-turismo-drivers-cant-race-i...
