They aren't "too fast". They were just not allowed to compete in the amateur division. Some of these Pro-AM racing series regulate who is "pro" and who is "amateur". They were fast enough to qualify to be pros, not amateurs (Who are typically just gentlemen drivers who have money but aren't considered professional.

You win GT Academy and get "paid-for" rides by Nissan... . and you want to say you are an amateur and compete that way? Sounds like a bunch of whiners. Once you get paid to drive a race car, I would dare say you aren't considered an amateur anymore.

Interesting. The point I was trying to make is that if these guys can become proficient racing in GT, there is a benefit in looking into some of the more mass market racing sims out there, besides iRacing. Im sure if you put an expert GT racer into an iRacing season it might not go well for him. If I also want to do some GT when it comes out eventually later this year, this complicates my wheel choice since the G27 isnt compatible with the PS4 out of the box. I know I said earlier it doesnt matter but it is a consideration.
