The real story:
Platoon and TMM01 were friends on GT5 and they had worked on setups together, TMM loved to tune more than test drive. I had raced with both of them when I first started playing the game, yup! I started out in Dirty Nascar, lol. TMM sent me a friend request and I joined him in one of his test rooms one day, he seen I was very fast and consistent and asked if I would test drive for him. We worked on a setup that fit me and we ended up a few tenths faster than anything TMM had seen.
Once TMM thought we had the setup at it's fastest he invited Platoon to come see what lap times I was running. Platoon ran his car first and then I ran mine, I was faster by a couple tenths, platoon was upset. TMM told him it was as much my driving as it was the setup as TMM could not match my times with the same car.
Platoon was his normal WTF self and did not think my driving was reducing the lap times, TMM suggested Platoon send me his car and see what I could do with it. In GT5 you could share cars with each other, something would later spread hacking and ruin online racing in GT5. Platoon send me the car and I ran it exactly as he sent it, only it was a tenth faster when I drove it. Platoon was irate, yelling and carrying on how I wasn't using his car, he even asked me to pull out on the track so he could compare the car I had to another one he was in with the identical setup.
TMM was laughing pretty good and Platoon got upset and left, that was the beginning of the end of their friendship as TMM would tell me. Platoon kicked me off his friends list and has been bad mouthing me ever since. I soon moved on to clean Nascar rooms and found the that Dirty Nascar setups were awful in clean rooms, I used what I learned from the testing with TMM and started doing my own setups to suit how I like to drive.
That is the true story, this hacking BS is just that BS! TMM never hacked when I knew him, he was far to proud of his tuning ability to do that.
Platoon has never gotten over it and being as this was over three years ago I don't think he ever will. It is not my fault people still talk about it, I haven't raced in Dirty room for over 2.5 years and a clean room for over 6 months now. I have no idea what a good lap is in either type of room anymore and I honestly don't even care.
The video Platoon is referencing is from Feb. 22 2014 when the game was two months old, if he was half as smart as he thinks he is he would know that PD changed the physics sometime around the summer last year and Nascar Daytona laps are slower now.
I sent
@Ridox2JZGTE two replays to be checked. One is a 43.481 pre update lap, same physics as the video on youtube, and a 43.856 lap with the latest updates. Hopefully if and when he can look at them, this issue can be put to rest.
