    I've been in touch with Casey and he assures me that he was not behind the attacks or the fake user. I know that as time goes on I won't feel as hurt by this. I can even laugh about it. I guess some of my videos seem a little silly if you don't know me. Yeah, drifting in the parking lot isn't super tough. You have to learn somewhere. I put the GT5 Prologue footage in my videos because I feel that at this level of technology, it's basically the same as driving in the real world. If you have the ability to excel in the world of video simulation, you will drive to that level in the real world.

    I have also heard from a source in the S2K community that the person who made this stuff up is known for attacking S2K owners. He thinks he is cool because he races. Well in a year or two I will show him who is cool and who is not.

    I thought this BSL dude was just trying too hard at being a comedian, but hacking into Fchat and the identity theft of BreakerOhio's driving exploits? WTF

    BO,
    I was sure BSL and you were the same. Sorry I fell for it but it sounds like you're getting a little more at ease with us. Besides, you called us all millionaires and for that I thank you! :)
    Just hope I'm not being duped again.

    I got a pm from Casey kind of accepting my kart race challenge if there was something in it for him.

    I know only one thing for sure, I'm going back to trusting only what I verify!!!

    Who is offering credits for my last two days? Never mind, it was fun.

    This was one of the funniest "diatribes" I've ever seen. I was laughing too hard throughout to even jump into the fray. While I'm certain some were (rightfully) put-off at being duped, for me it was great comic relief from the important burdens of the day.

    A bonafide page-turner, for certain...

    After reading Casey's bio I noticed his initials were CCCP, great way to support communism :)

    No it is not; being a good driver on Playstation3 directly translates into being good at the track. This is why I am making the jump from Playstation to F1 in 2009. I am currently looking for sponsorship.

    Not so fast:

    You can learn a bunch of pointers from them. Things like the ideal line around the track: The guy in front of me at the USGP was all over the place because he had no clue about the line. It was my only chance to make up for the hp difference we had.

    Or if nothing else the operational steps of running a F1 car with paddle shifters. I remember how they wanted to explain it to me over and over again as if it was some rocket science and to me it was nothing different than using my Logitech wheel at home.

    No wonder F1 drivers practice new tracks with video games.
