GTA V Race Club News and Updates Thread 1 2

Greetings, this is the spot to discuss Race Club events. The first rule of Race Club is that you do not talk about Race Club. The second rule of Race Club is, actually you should probably ignore rule 1 or no one will join. Like the Time Trials for various reasons, I ended up not running these during 2018 (my total event count was 3 or 4 including VANS events down from 50 or so per year previously). Race Club events will dovetail with the Time Trials to hopefully give added value should you need to buy a car for the Time Trials, hopefully, you should end up in profit. This will mostly be one-off events, however, I do have intentions for some ongoin…

GTA V RACE CLUB RACING RULES

I shall expand on this with images later but the basic expected standards are as follows. RACING RULES First corner! We do not need a mass pileup every time. 16+ into 1 doesn't go, respect those around you and try to realise you can't win in turn 1 but you can ruin both yours and others race. No pit manoeuvres. If the car in front of you is sideways and you cannot drive around it tapping them is to be avoided, it's up to you to find a way around. Using the car in front of you as a brake is unacceptable. No weaving on straights to stay ahead, racing etiquette is that you are allowed one manoeuvre. If there is a massive pileup and…

One of the Casino cars that I was absolutely delighted to see would come in as an option as I love the real car. MEETUP We Will Meet Up in Los Santos at the car park of Los Santos Customs. Anyone arriving late will still be able to join, but will obviously need to wait until a gap in the races to be invited. RACES/TRACKS The races will be a mixture of Stunt and Regular races either based on real world American racing circuits or in that essence. We will also take in some oval/stock car type races on both full size and road ovals. One of these will include catchup and slipstream. Racing will be contact and we'll operate the rotati…

Friday 23rd August 8PM UK This could be a bit chaotic but hey we're going to give it a go anyway. Event format will be a mixture of regular racing where we will just race as normal, a structured rally cross event (actually running heats, then finals etc.) and a mini rally. The usual racing rules will apply, see the pinned thread in this section for clarity if you are unsure. The car used must be the regular Karin Kuruma, not the armoured version.

Friday 26th April 2019 - 8PM UK / 7PM UTC This will be a tester even for an idea I have and have had for a very long time for an ongoing championship. We shall be using the rather lovely Benefactor Schafter V12 and using a variety of tracks either replicating or inspired by old school DTM type tracks. The aim is to have a test run and see how well the cars perform in a tight grid with several drivers. The lobby will be up at around 7:50 to get people in and we'll launch the playlist around 8:15 once everyone is in. Initially, we shall meet up at the Benefactor dealership in Vinewood. And here is some classic DTM for you in the meantime…

104Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #119 (April 8-14) Dune: Part Two dir. Denis Villeneuve/2024/2h47m Picking up right where the first film left off, Dune: Part Two sees Paul Atreides (Timothee Chalamet) and his mother Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) now living with the Fremen in the deserts of Arrakis, launching attacks on the brutal House Harkonnen. Meanwhile, he is also struggling with the idea of being “the chosen one” and what that means for the future and how it will affect the woman he loves, the Freman Chani (Zendaya). This is an exceptionally crafted film with the costumes and sets feeling real and lived in and it has some stunning photography that really emphasises a grand sense of scale fitting for such an epic tale. I also found it pretty dull with everyone delivering their lines in an intense whisper that got pretty grating after a while. It's also unsatisfying in the sense that it's the middle section of the story and so feels like it's spinning plates just to keep them in play for the third part. I also really disliked Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha whose characterisation is reduced to “look at me I'm so evil look at me stab these innocent people”. I really don't get the hype. 6/10 Head dir. Bob Rafelson/1968/1h26m Head is a follow up to The Monkee's TV show and, like that show, stars the band as themselves getting caught up in madcap situations. What makes this fascinating is that this is an early New Hollywood film and is incredibly meta and part of the counterculture. Throughout the film – which was produced and co-written by Jack Nicholson - the band, who were created by director Rafelson, are constantly trying to break out of whatever situation they find themselves in and prove that they're real people not some manufactured product, but every rebellious action they perform turns out to be pre-determined and leads the film to end where it began. s*x, drugs and the Vietnam war being explicitly mentioned makes this a markedly different product from their show and large portions of this film are more surreal and LSD-inspired than anything The Beatles ever did, which is saying something. 8.5/10 Pain and Glory dir. Pedro Almodóvar/2019/1h54m Antonio Banderas stars as Salvador Mallo, a director reaching the end of his career and is breaking down both physically and mentally. The restoration of one of his old films leads to him reminiscing about his childhood and his mother (Penelope Cruz), a relationship he had in the 80's and his friendship with the star of the restored film who he has not spoken to since making it. A deeply personal film that unfolds the history of its main character like a beautiful puzzle box, and I loved discovering every new facet to this man. Banderas is amazing in this role, the entire history of this character laid bare in every expression and movement. This is easily the best performance he's ever given. This is also a gorgeous looking film that is absolutely slathered in Almodóvar's trademark violent, passionate reds. It also has a brilliant ending that had me grinning from both how clever and how optimistic it is. 9/10 Yannick dir. Quentin Dupieux/2023/1h7m Yannick (Raphael Quenard) is a car-park attendant who has chosen to spend his one night off at the theatre watching a comedic play. The only problem is that he doesn't find it very entertaining, and so stands up and tells the actors what he thinks. Things only get worse from there. This may be the most normal film from Dupieux, whose previous work includes Rubber, a film about a killer tyre, and Deerskin, a film about a jacket who wants to be the only jacket in the world. That doesn't stop this from being delightfully absurd, with the situation escalating in unexpected ways. Quenard is great in the lead, his character veering between affable geniality and threatening malice with terrifying ease. I spent the barely an hour runtime of this film going between agreeing with him and wanting someone to punch him in the kidney. The direction really does a good job of keeping the one location interesting and the abrupt ending is the perfect punchline. If you're looking for some bizarre and totally unique films then you should check out the work of Quentin Dupieux and this would be a great starting point. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week! Yellow Canary dir. Herbert Wilcox/1943/1h34m (can't find a trailer so here's the whole film instead) Sally Maitland (Anna Neagle) is a socialite from a wealthy family who have disowned her because she is a n*zi sympathiser. On a boat to Canada she meets Polish officer Jan Orlock (Albert Lieven), who is part of a secret n*zi spy ring which he invites Sally to join. The catch; she's actually a British spy in deep cover. A decent wartime thriller full of twists and turns, this starts off really strong with an arresting opening scene that sets Sally up as the ultimate traitor, but a lot of the film gets bogged down with a romantic subplot involving a British officer sent to tail her. Thankfully there are some fun supporting characters to add some levity and variety, my favourite being Margaret Rutherford, who I recently loved watching in a series of Miss Marple films, as a feisty old woman who kicks a n*zi after he calls her an old sow. 7/10 Trenque Lauquen dir. Laura Citarella/2022/4h20m Trenque Lauquen stars Laura Parades as Laura, a woman who catalogues rare flowers for the council. When she suddenly disappears her boyfriend Rafael (Rafael Spregelburd) and her colleague Ezequiel (Ezequiel Pierri) start searching for her. What unfolds over the next four and a half hours is like a nesting doll of mysteries within flashbacks within mysteries within flashbacks. This film is absolutely hypnotic with its storytelling, the deliberate pacing parcelling out questions and answers like the ebbing tide. The structure of this film really helps with that, being non-linear and broken up into chapters. Parades is fantastic in the lead, feeling like a real enigma, like you're always just one step behind her. This is a film that's worth your time. 9/10 Sweet Charity dir. Bob Fosse/1969/2h29m Sweet Charity, adapted from the Broadway play, is a musical version of Federico Fellini's Night's of Cabiria – brilliant film, 10/10 from me – and stars Shirley MacLaine as the titular Charity, a nightclub “dancer” who life chooses to sh*t on constantly but she always remains hopeful and quick to love despite that. This being a Fosse film it is full of incredibly distinctive choreography and jazz hands all over the place. He doesn't care if it makes sense to have a dance routine, he's going to have one dammit, and it's gonna be so good you'll thank him for it. The presentation of the song Hey Big Spender is so good, it's both s*xy and sensual while being awkwardly angular. MacLaine is a natural in the lead role, taking every hit on the chin and facing her troubles with a smile. That just makes the times when she lets her sadness show even more affecting, such as at the end of the If They Could See Me Now number. Throw in Ricardo Montalban as a sleazy Italian movie star and Sammy Davis Jr. as Big Daddy, leader of a cult of flower power hippies, and you've got a good time. 9/10- 2
