Someone just got mad that some guys with a load of natural born talent were scouted out and put into a real driver's seat.

These are not Game dudes jumping straight to the Track. GT Academy is a seasonal contest. Should you place among the top drivers, you are flown to a facility where you compete with real life cars and events. They train you for real world driving and you become a race car driver after finishing the program. That is if you beat the other guys that also are there.
