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
- 1.1k 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

The Teachers' Lounge (2023) dir Ilker Çatak Leonie Benesch plays a teacher, Carla, at a German school where there have been a series of thefts. Only small amounts of money have been taken, but someone is clearly making a habit of it. She teaches a class of 11 and 12 year olds. One is accused of being the thief, but she senses the accusation is false and borne out of another kids prejudice. The school handles it badly. She then has an idea, sets a trap and gets pretty conclusive evidence of who the real thief is. She confronts them hoping they can put an end to it without having to report the suspect, but they deny everything. Then the whole situation just spirals out of control, with counter accusations, further suspicion, protests, people not knowing the full story jumping to the wrong conclusion, etc, etc. Throughout all this Carla tries to do the right thing, keeping things confidential, that if she actually revealed would make life far easier for her, and so on. It's well acted, particularly by Benesch who I have seen previously in the excellent TV series Babylon Berlin. I found the child actors all quite good too, largely because they are just being normal kids. This is not the sort of drama where kids do adult things, like solving crimes, or coming to the rescue of someone in danger. They just do what you would expect kids that age to do in that situation. In some ways its quite a simple drama, no thrills, no special effects, not that much tension at first. But it does build up the tension quite subtlety for something which, at the end of the day, is quite a minor crime to something that seems bigger. The ending was a bit confusing to me. I can't say much without spoilers but it was not what I expected and I thought the story would go on a passed where it ended. I'm not sure what point the film makers where trying to make with this ending. But it was very interesting none-the-less. 8 / 10 -

What I Watched This Week #152 (Nov 25-Dec 1) Radiohead: In Rainbows - From the Basement dir. David Barnard/2008/1h3m This concert film sees Radiohead play most of their In Rainbows album, plus a few select other songs, in Maida Vale Studios in London. The setting, and the fact that there is no audience, makes for an incredibly intimate experience and allows you to fully focus on the musicianship of each of the band members. Thom Yorke is an entrancing frontman – and excellent dancer if you've seen Paul Thomas Anderson's short film Anima – with his idiosyncratic twitching and distinctive wailing voice. I also liked how, thanks to the close proximity this films gives us, I was able to see the chord choices he makes when playing guitar. It's not something that the casual viewer would catch, but as a dabbler in guitar myself I really appreciated it. It was also fascinating to see lead guitarist Jonny Greenwood at work, his corner of the studio like a lab as he not only plays guitar but also keyboards and synths and at one point he's programming beats on a laptop. An up close and personal look at one of the best bands ever at work. 10/10 Harakiri dir. Masaki Kobayashi/1962/2h15m A depressed ronin – a samurai without a master – Hanshiro Tsugumo (Tatsuya Nakadai) comes to the house of Iyi looking for a place to commit honourable seppuku – ritual suicide – and a worthy swordsman to act as his assistant. The lord's chief counsellor Kageyu Saito (Rentaro Mikuni) questions him, as not long before a young man came to their house with a similar request. The film is made up of two stories that collide, that of the young man, Motome Chijiwa (Akira Ishihama), and Tsugumo's life story. This is an incredibly crafted film with some absolutely gorgeous cinematography and a perfectly paced plot that always keeps you hooked. It explores the samurai codes of honour and whether they are actually worth anything when challenged, and the differences between honour and respect as you can act with honour but no respect, as is the case in this film. What really drives this film forwards is the amazing performance by Nakadai in the lead role. He is the picture of absolute resolve, his one goal left in life to expose the hypocrisies of his fellow samurai. Even though this is made up of mostly conversations between Tsugumo and Saito I was still on the edge of my seat, with this story being one of the most enthralling I've ever seen. This is an absolute masterpiece in every way. 10/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Toy Story dir. John Lasseter/1995/1h21m Pixar's first feature length film is a genuine landmark in the history of cinema as it is the first fully computer animated film, ushering in a new age for animation like Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs did nearly sixty years earlier. Expanding on their short film Tin Toy, Toy Story imagines a world where toys come to life when no one is watching. Tom Hanks stars as cowboy Woody, the favourite toy of young Andy (John Morris). Life is good until Andy's birthday when he gets the brand new flashy toy, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), and feels like he's being replaced. Apart from the textures looking very flat, though at the time they set the high bar in the industry, and the human characters looking frankly grotesque – though nowhere near as nightmare inducing as the baby from Tin Toy – this is as close to perfect as you can get. The script is hilarious and also hits some big emotional beats, the characters all have real depth and personality, and the songs by Randy Newman capture the charm and whimsy of the film perfectly. In my opinion this is the defining role of Hanks' career, and he makes an iconic duo with Allen's egotistical space ranger. The supporting cast is also full of instantly iconic characters with performances that all match their personalities, with John Ratzenberger as Hamm the know-it-all piggy bank being my favourite. Arguably the best, and most revolutionary, animated film ever made. 10/10 Killer's Kiss dir. Stanley Kubrick/1955/1h8m This early Kubrick stars Jamie Smith as Davey Gordon, a boxer at the tail end of his career who falls in love with dancer Gloria (Irene Kane). But their relationship is threatened by Gloria's boss, club owner and violent criminal Vincent Rapallo (Frank Silvera). The best thing about this film is the moody, almost noir-like, black and white photography. The New York City locations all feel seedy and lived-in, giving the film tons of atmosphere. The boxing scenes are also very well shot, echoing his earlier documentary short Day of the Fight. Sadly the rest of the film is distinctly average. Apart from Silvera who gives a good turn as a sleazy gangster the performances are pretty flat and the story is predictable and drags even though it's barely an hour long. This is an improvement on his debut feature film, Fear and Desire, but it won't be until his next two films, The Killing and Paths of Glory, that he really hits his stride as a filmmaker. This isn't a bad film, but it's really only worth seeking out if you're aiming to watch all of Kubrick's rather slim filmography. 5/10 Dark Star dir. John Carpenter/1974/1h23m John Carpenter's debut feature length film tells the story of four working class astronauts on a decades long mission travelling through the galaxy destroying unstable planets, readying the universe for colonisation. One of the astronauts is played by Dan O'Bannon who also co-wrote the script with Carpenter and would go on to write Alien, another sci-fi film about blue collar workers in deep space, but unlike that film this is full of humour, at times it's almost a full blown comedy. One protracted scene sees O'Bannon's character chase the ships alien mascot around, the alien being what looks like a beach ball with feet. They also get into a philosophical argument with one of their thermonuclear bombs, which honestly put me in mind of Talkie Toaster from the British sitcom Red Dwarf. Actually, a lot of this reminded me of Red Dwarf, low ranking technicians stuck on a space ship bored out of their minds and looking for something to pass the time. Because it started out as a student film the budget is practically non-existent and none of the performances really stand out, but I really like the concept and there are lots of interesting ideas here. Not what I was expecting from a John Carpenter sci-fi film, but worth watching all the same. 7/10 Emilia Perez dir. Jacques Audiard/2024/2h12m Zoe Saldana stars as Mexico City lawyer Rita who is kidnapped by a the leader of a cartel, Manitas (Karla Sofia Gascon), who asks for her help in transitioning to a woman, becoming the titular Emilia Perez (Sofia Gascon is a trans woman herself). What sounds like a heavy drama is given the melodramatic treatment of a soap opera, and is also a musical (the vaginoplasty song being a highlight). Sadly this only undercuts the seriousness of the subject matter and at points comes off like a joke. I've read reviews that say this does nothing to help trans representation and having no lived experience of that I couldn't say, but Perez as a character does come off as a selfish *sshole who I couldn't sympathise with at all, and none of it has anything to do with her gender identity. The performances from the two leads are good, and they really invest themselves in their characters, as does Selena Gomez as Perez's ex-wife Jessi, and they really help sell the more sincere moments here. Well intentioned but off target, there are some decent moments here but the wildly inconsistent tone throws it all off. 5/10 First Man dir. Damien Chazelle/2018/2h21m First Man is a biopic of astronaut Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) covering his life from his time as a test pilot in the early 60s up to the moment he became the First Man on the moon in July 1969. As well as his professional life we also see his personal life with wife Janet (Claire Foy). The film presents Armstrong's stoic, isolated, obsessive personality as his way of dealing with grief, and makes his time on the moon imbued with even more meaning than it already has thanks to this. Gosling's performance is all under the surface but you can always feel his sadness, motivating him or maybe he's trying to run away from it. All of the launches and scenes in space make it feel suitably terrifying, with lots of close ups of all the bolts and rivets holding their ship together as they creak and groan. It's also mostly filmed from inside the ships during these scenes, no glossy shots of rockets gliding through space, so you feel like you're there with them. More of an emotional than informative biopic, if you're looking for a Wikipedia entry then you'll be disappointed, this is a very humane take on humanities greatest achievement. 8.5/10- 2
