Introduction This is the spot where I will post any news and updates as the Time Trials progress. The Time Trials began in 2015 as a Van Society crew only event, largely with the intention that it gave everyone in the crew across different time zones a common event we could all compete in. In 2016 this was opened out to include all registered members on GTAF and then ran through 2017 taking in 31 rounds in over the two years and involving over 70 players in total. The 2018 championship was oft-promised by myself but for various reasons never transpired, however, we are now back for 2019 albeit with a shortened calendar. 2019 Calendar The plan…

Something else a little bit different for this round. A mixture of road, track, dirt and a splash of water in Zancudo River Run. This track is a little longer than usual and locked to the Flash GT to make the most of it Off Road ability. The track is another one of JuniorChubbs, so again, all complaints can be directed to him.

Time Trials 2019 - Round 09 - Gordodrome
by doubleg213- 4 replies
- 896 views
We'll be using a car I absolutely love for this one, been a massive fan of the Hellcat and all it's variants since Dodge started down that road so was chuffed they added a GTA equivalent for us to play with. The Gordodrome circuit starts off with a fairly tight section before opening up for some very fast sections for the remainder of the lap. Even the fast sections should be interesting, you will need bravery on them to really get the best lap but that will mean some hanging on to deal with the slightly wayward handling. Fully modified Bravado Gauntlet Hellfire Sunday 27th October 2019 (Midnight UK time). S…

From having to fight and battle just to keep the car in a straight line never mind on all four wheels in round 5 we move to the other end of the spectrum this time around. Either the Elegy Retro or Elegy RH8 are allowed. Sunday 18th August 2019. IF PREFERRED TIMES CAN NOW BE SUBMITTED VIA PSN AS IT IS MUCH EASIER FOR EVERYONE AND I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY I DIDN'T ALLOW IT PREVIOUSLY. https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/job/gtav/gWK8zY2Ga0SuDFTAqTmblw

Switching to some Rallycross for this round, we could have had something nice and stable like the Tropos but there is no challenge in getting that around quickly. So we shall run with the Kuruma instead, the track is very simple but has some fairly brutal bumps that will need to be tamed in the Kuruma, which lets face it is extremely easy to flip. The fully modified Karin Kuruma is the only vehicle allowed for this round. Sunday 21st July at Midnight (GMT). https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/job/gtav/bxwO_CzcJk2Ns62f1pHXyQ

Bit of an experimental round this, as I am always trying to avoid tracks where it's going to turn into a curb boosting lottery I've avoided more stunty tracks. So, for this round, we will be running @JuniorChubbs Kortz Center track, which is locked to the handling flags based Supers from the Southern San Andreas Super Autos update. The track is locked to customs off so that you have no expense incurred for this experiment. If it works we'll do more of the same in future, if not we'll move on and never speak of it again. The following stock (non-bought, unmodified) vehicles are allowed. The track is locked to these vehicles so you shouldn't be able to …

Not what I originally had planned to run, but due to various factors I've not been as prepared as I would normally be, so this round is a bit of change on my original plans. The only allowed car is the Lampadati Felon which is available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $90k or, it also spawns a hell of a lot in free roam so I am sure you can pick one up for free if you must. The car will also be used in a Race Club night, which I still need to plan with the change on what I originally intended. This should be the 10th ideally. Note: The Felon GT is significantly slower than the regular Felon, feel free to run it, but you will suffer ba…

For those of you thinking "oh god not another slidey car" fear not, the next two rounds will feature mucho, mucho grip. The track is a mix of stunt track and original in-game tarmac with the layout very well built to run across the top of the gravel at El Burro Heights. The only allowed car is the Schafter V12 which is available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $116k or free if you had the game on PS3. The car will also be used in a Race Club night on Friday 26th April and hopefully later on in an ongoing championship idea I have. Special thanks to the creator LancerEvoWRC who modified the track specifically for us to eliminate th…

This is a track I have used for several events in the past and which always seems to be popular. Although the Dukes is very stable in comparison to many of the other Muscle cars the track is mostly very fast and although big time can be gained the extra speed can mean some very simple mistakes prove very costly. The only allowed car is the Imponte Dukes which is available from Southern San Andreas Super Autos for $62k or free if you had the game on PS3. Sunday 7th April 2019 at Midnight (GMT) and (UTC). https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/job/gtav/P6eam6kRP0C6rBKw7vr_tg

Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #122 (April 29-May 5) It Is Night in America dir. Ana Vaz/2022/1h6m This mesmerising documentary explores the relationship between nature and man in the streets of Brasilia; snakes infiltrating suburbs being hunted by animal control, a dead anteater on the road, the all-seeing eyes of the owl. Eschewing narrative, this film is all about the atmosphere, which at times can verge on suspense, even horror. Humans are side-lined here with them never being the focus of Vaz's camera, and dialogue is kept to a minimum making sure that the focus is always on the animals. This film uses expired 16mm film, an endangered species, that at times gives the film a warped texture, and the eerie soundscape adds to this unnerving effect. I did find that the film drags somewhat, despite the short length, and would maybe be more impactful if it were shorter. But this is still a unique look at the creatures we share our planet with. 7/10 My Life as a Courgette dir. Claude Barras/2016/1h6m After the death of his alcoholic mother, eight year old Courgette (Gaspard Schlatter) is taken to an orphanage by kindly policeman Raymond (Michel Vuillermoz) where he and the other children learn to trust and love again. The claymation style may make this seem like a kids film but this gets quite dark and deep at times, especially the opening scene where Courgette loses his mother. The script is by Celine Sciamma, also a director, and she really captures the authenticity of how young children speak, something she used to its full effect in the beautiful time-travel film Petite Maman. Rather than an overarching plot this is more like a series of vignettes that are full of little touches that make these characters feel rounded and gives motivation to their actions, and subtly shows how each child represents a different way of dealing with grief and trauma and loss. A touching and tender film about the importance of family, in all the forms it takes. 9/10 The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert dir. Stephan Elliott/1994/1h44m Drag queens Mitzi Del Bra and Felicia Jollygoodfellow (Hugo Weaving, Guy Pearce) and trans woman Bernadette Bassenger (Terence Stamp) bundle into the pink party bus Priscilla in order to drive halfway across Australia to perform a show. In classic road movie tradition they meet a hatful of colourful characters along the way, some nicer than others, and at the end are changed – but still fabulous – people. Very progressive for its time (apart from the awkwardly racist sub-plot involving a mail order bride), I loved the chemistry between the three leads with my favourite character being Bernadette. The dignity she shows in the face of extreme discrimination – even from her two best friends at times – is genuinely touching, and one of my favourite things about this film is the charmingly old fashioned relationship between her and outback mechanic Bob (Bill Hunter). Funny and filthy whilst also being sweetly wholesome, Priscilla is a bus you don't want to miss, and how could you not love a film that ends with a drag show performance of Mamma Mia? 9/10 The Zone of Interest dir. Jonathan Glazer/2023/1h45m The Zone of Interest is about a loving husband and wife who live in a nice house with a handful of children and some maids to cook and clean for them. While the wife, Hedwig (Sandra Huller), looks after the kids and tends to her beautiful garden the husband, Rudolf (Christian Friedel), is advancing in his career, being as good at his job as he is. That all sounds nice and boring, but his job is commandant of Auschwitz, and his house backs directly onto the death camp, it sharing a wall with his wife's beloved garden (“the vines will grow and cover it all”). This is an amazing film that really shows the horror of the holocaust by not showing it at all, much like the legendary documentary Shoah. At no point in this film do we set foot in the camp, or even see over the wall. All we know of Auschwitz here are the tops of the smoking chimney stacks and the thing that makes this film really stand out, the sound design. Throughout the entire film there is a constant industrial rumbling punctuated by the occasional gunshot or screaming child and it gets under your skin so effectively that I was close to having a panic attack several times and that's not hyperbole. This is honestly one of the most distressing films I've ever watched, and the fact that all of the characters in the film act like they can't hear it, they are numb to it or just don't give a sh*t in the first place, is disgusting. It's the normality of the situation, how banal their life is with the most evil travesty in human history happening literally next door, that really made me sick with anger. This is also an incredibly well made film, just like Glazer's other, too infrequent, films like s*xy Beast and Under the Skin, with a very unexpected ending that left me floored and emotionally drained. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom dir. J. A. Bayona/2018/2h9m A few years after the disastrous failure of Jurassic World (the dino theme park, not the film), the volcanic island on which they live is about to blow, so for some reason Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) and the man who tamed velociraptors, Owen (Chris Pratt), set out to save them despite them only bringing death, destruction and misery to everyone. This is a very, very stupid film that is split into two acts and is made somewhat entertaining just by how dumb the plot, and every single character, is. The first half is set on the exploding island, and I quite enjoyed this part. It's shot really well with some fun set pieces, like a tranquilised Owen desperately trying to outrun some slow moving lava. Bayona also bought that spectacle of devastating natural destruction to last year's excellent Society of the Snow. The second half is set in a giant mansion in California where some rich *ssholes are bidding on the dinosaurs and is like a home invasion movie and was totally unexpected, and still very, very stupid. I enjoyed seeing some actors I didn't know were in this like Rafe Spall, Toby Jones, Geraldine Chaplin, and Ted Levine, but again, their characters are all very, very stupid. Dumb, fun, but ultimately forgettable. 5/10 Jurassic World Dominion dir. Colin Trevorrow/2022/2h27m The latest Jurassic World film sees the dinosaurs now living among us, so obviously the main plot is all about giant locusts eating our crops. Really. To paraphrase Jeff Goldblum from the original Jurassic Park, this is one giant pile of sh*t. Goldblum returns here, alongside Sam Neill and Laura Dern, but they're nothing more than a nostalgic distraction from the actual film. At least the last one was stupid and fun, this is stupid and boring. 2/10 Suzume dir. Makoto Shinkai/2022/2h3m Inspired by the earthquake that led to the tsunami that caused the Fukushima nuclear meltdown, Suzume is a Japanese anime about a teenage girl, Suzume (Nanoka Hara), still affected by the death of her mother when she was a small child, accidentally opening a magical door that unleashes an evil force that could destroy Japan. So she must go on an epic odyssey across the country sealing shut other magic doors aided by a man called Souta (Hokuto Matsumura) who has been transformed into a three legged chair. A beautifully animated film with some of the best looking food ever drawn, this is a whimsical road movie with a strong message about the harmony of man and nature that's full of endearing characters that don't get too “anime”, which I find grating. I didn't really like the romantic plot between Suzume and Souta, but the flashbacks to her life with her mother, and how that all relates to the plot is very moving and gives the film a strong emotional core. 8/10- 1

Novecento / 1900 (1976) dir Bernardo Bertolucci An epic story of two friends in early 20th century Italy. It's very long; 5 hours and 17 mins! I had to do a double take when I saw that, but it really is that long. So I watched over 3 sessions. Alfredo (Robert di Niro) and Olmo (Gerard Depardieu) are born within minutes of each other around 1900 in rural Italy. They grow up as friends and remain so for the rest of their lives, but they come from completely different sections of society. Alfredo is from the family of a wealthy land owner and Olmo the son of one the estate's farm labourers. The first hour of the film is from their childhood, and features Burt Lancaster as Alfredo's grandfather. Then it skips to the end of the First World War and Olmo returning home after military service. The rest of the film, with a few other, shorter, jumps, takes the story up to the end of the Second World War. Donald Sutherland comes into the film playing the estate's foreman, Attila. The rest of cast are, I think, mainly Italian. But those three actors, plus Dominique Sanda. playing Alfredo's love interest Ada, are the leads and main support. Sutherland gives the best performance. He is the film's villain, and truly evil. He becomes the leader of the local fascists as Mussolini takes control of Italy, and, as if that was not enough, also a murderer and child abuser. There is a very clear class distinction. Alfredo's family and friends all accept the fascist takeover, some enthusiastically, others, like Alfredo more just going along with things beyond their control. Olmo and most of the other farmer labourers just want a fair wage, so they can feed their families, and many join the communists. Being as long as it is, there are obviously many different stories within the whole plot. But the class struggle, with Alfredo and Olmo just about remaining friends, is the main one. It's in English. Many of the Italian cast's lines are clearly dubbed. Depardieu's are too, despite him clearly speaking English. You can tell the voice is not his, but it is in sync with his lip movements. I don't like this, but it does not spoil the film. It is of it's time. The makeup used to depict the character's ageing is not that good, when you compare to modern day films, and some characters seem to hardly age at all. The score is by Ennio Moricone. I had heard the main theme before, and think it is one of his best, but there is not much else to the original music in the film, just a lot of that theme or variations on it. Although it is so long, I never got bored. It is obviously slow paced, very slow at times. But there are some great scenes. One comes early on with soldiers on horseback sent to break a strike, and the striker's wives all lying down in the road to block the way. Another towards the end, after the Facist regime has been toppled and their N*zi allies defeated, sees the workers dig up a sack containing a massive red flag made out of many smaller flags they each owned, all stitched together. They have had to hide this for many years, but now they parade it around the fields where they have worked all their lives. 7 / 10- 2
