Real drivers in the virtual world.

For years us sim racers have enjoyed racing with like minded wannabe racers just like ourselves but with the state-of-the-art domestic level racing simulations of today there is new competition from the real world. As with, let's call it loosely, 'online gaming' you never really know who you are competing against.
Our 'sport' has had celebrity drivers from real racing join us under various pseudonyms for years but today we are seeing drivers from all divisions of real-world racing compete under their real names. To name just a few we can often see Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart, Shane Van Gisbergen, Scotty McLaughlin mixing with the sim guys and gals.
This is of course a great thing but sometimes the real guys race by a different code of ethics. Perhaps they know they're not going to be pinged race points of cop a large fine. Have a look at this video where we see Scott Speed get in a bit of strife..
