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

225Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
What I Watched This Week #168 (Mar 17-23) Sisu dir. Jalmari Helander/2022/1h31m Sisu is a Finnish action film set during the latter stages of WWII in the Finnish countryside where a grizzled old gold-miner, Aatami (Jorma Tommila), has just struck the motherlode. Unfortunately he runs into a group of n*zis led by SS officer Bruno (Askel Hennie) who are retreating out of the country and they steal his stash. What they don't know is that he is a legendary badass soldier who then proceeds to go on a bloody rampage to get his gold back. There are few things more satisfying to see in a movie than n*zis getting absolutely brutalised (Hitler getting his face machine-gunned into Swiss cheese in Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is a personal fav) and this delivers that by the blood and guts full bucket load. If you want to see a n*zi get exploded by having a landmine f*cking thrown directly at his face then this is the film for you. Tommila gives a great performance in the lead, even though his character doesn't have a single word of dialogue. This is a man who speaks with his actions. Plus he just looks like a badass, I can totally believe that he could take on an entire troop of n*zis and win. Hennie is also good, but his character is very one dimensional, but his presence is more symbolic here of how evil the n*zis were as a whole. If you want a straight forward and thrilling action film then you should check this out. 8/10 Breaking dir. Abi Damaris Corbin/2022/1h43m Based on a true story, Breaking stars John Boyega as Brian Brown-Easley, a former Marine suffering from severe PTSD who has had his VA benefits taken away, straight out of his bank account. Desperate and seeing no other option he holds up the bank with a bomb, taking two hostages. What follows is a tense standoff involving the police, the media and Brian, with Boyega's performance really carrying what is a pretty generic film. The way the public and media sympathy is on Brian's side as he's able to explain his situation put me in mind of Dog Day Afternoon - also based on a true story of another bank robbery gone wrong - but that just makes this film feel even blander. Now this isn't a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, it does its job well, but apart from Boyega's performance there isn't anything that really stands out. It did make me sympathise with the real Brian Brown-Easley as this is a tragic story from every angle, and it does a good job of showing who he was as a person with flashbacks showing him spending time with his young daughter and not just focusing on that day. 6.5/10 Furious 7 dir. James Wan/2015/2h17m Jason Statham enters the Fast and Furious series - after a post-credit teaser in the last film - as the brother of the baddie from the last film and he wants revenge (it's about family). Djimon Hounsou is also here as a totally underwritten bad guy who is totally forgettable and unnecessary and I don't know why he was there because Statham is already the bad guy. I can't even remember what relevance he had to the plot, if he had any at all. But I like Djimon Hounsou so it was nice just to see him I guess. I did have fun with this one, the less grounded the plots the more enjoyable they're becoming, especially since everyone is acting so seriously, particularly Vin Diesel. One aspect where this actually works is where they keep going on about family, their sincerity really makes me believe they care about each other, and that made the tribute to Paul Walker at the end of the film genuinely touching. 6/10 Le Corbeau dir. Henri-Georges Clouzot/1943/1h32m In this French mystery/thriller Pierre Fresnay plays Remy Germain, a doctor in a small village who is the victim of poison pen letters accusing him of having an affair with the wife of another doctor and performing illegal abortions. Soon other villagers start getting letters, all of them signed Le Corbeau - The Raven. As everyone's secrets start getting exposed, desperation to find The Raven grows. This is a very dark film made during a dark time in France's history, and the way the film shows how easily people can be turned against one another speaks to what was going on at the time. The actual mystery is well written, with the audience left guessing right up to the shocking finale, and it's all shot in a film-noir style that really sets the tone perfectly. It's a little slow at the start, but the third act really ramps up the pace as we start eliminating possible suspects, leading to what I think is a satisfying reveal. The performances are all good, especially that of the person eventually revealed as The Raven, but this is more about the atmosphere. 8/10 The Electric State dir. Joe Russo, Anthony Russo/2025/2h5m The Electric State is the latest film from the Russo brothers, directors of Avengers Infinity War and Endgame, and apparently cost Netflix 320 million dollars to make. It looks alright, and by that I mean the effects look alright, the actual art and production design is bland and derivative nostalgia bait, but it doesn't look like 320 million dollars. The actual plot, adapted from a graphic novel, sees Millie Bobby Brown play an orphaned teenager living in an alternate history 90's after some war with robots or something. She has to find her brother, who she thought was dead, but has been kidnapped by an evil tech guy played by Stanley Tucci and is now in a coma with his consciousness in a robot based on an old cartoon character and is the power source for his new VR tech I think. Also Chris Pratt is there doing the same character he's been doing for the last decade. There are some things I liked about this. Stanley Tucci is always good and is almost able to give his character some depth. Brian Cox voices a baseball robot, that was fun. I'm struggling now. Millie Bobby Brown's American accent is passable. I guess it's not the worst film I've seen this year, that would be Borderlands. This is slightly less obnoxious. 3/10 Cars 2 dir. John Lasseter/2011/1h46m The first non Toy Story sequel for Pixar kicked off an era of sequels where out of their next ten films only four were original. But at least the plot here is very different from the original, which was all about slowing down and enjoying the smaller pleasures of life. Cars 2 is a spy thriller where Mater the Tow Truck (Larry the Cable Guy) is mistaken for a secret agent by superspy Finn McMissile (Michael Caine). He is caught up in a plot involving eco-friendly oil invented by billionaire Miles Axelrod (Eddie Izzard), who is also hosting a worldwide grand prix in which Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is competing. There's a lot going on, but I do like how they've decided to go in such a mad direction after the relatively grounded first film. My biggest problem with this film is the same one I had with the first, and that's how much I f*cking hate Larry the Cable Guy and his stupid f*cking voice. And now he's basically the lead character, with more time given to his plot than McQueen's. 5/10 Across 110th Street dir. Barry Shear/1972/1h42m This film opens with two nobody crooks stealing a few hundred grand from a Mafia deal in Harlem, killing them and a couple of cops in the process. This threatens to incite a race riot if the two detectives assigned to the case can't find who did it. They are the gruff, no nonsense, racist Italian Captain Mattelli (Anthony Quinn), and the Black liberal Lt. Pope (Yaphet Kotto). A gritty crime film that's a perfect time capsule of the era, this is both very real feeling and stylised at the same time. There's a brilliant use of location shooting and handheld camera that give it a raw, almost documentary like feel. Quinn and Kotto are excellent as the diametrically opposed duo, butting heads while still trying to pull in the right direction. Their relationship is symbolic of the film as a whole, a powder keg just waiting to go up, and that level of tension is sustained throughout the film. The cherry on top is the brilliant soundtrack, which includes the legendary title song by Bobby Womack. 9/10 Lime's Film of the Week!- 2

Alien Romulus (2024) dir Fede Alvarez Another film in the Alien franchise. More of the same reasonably high quality sci-fi horror, quite gory at times with dark, atmospheric, industrial looking sets. A cast of relatively unknown actors do a good job playing a group of young off-worlders, including an android, who see a way to escape their dreary mining colony planet by boarding an abandoned space craft to use it's resources to get their ship to another planet. But this craft is research station, with all human crew dead, because, of course, it had an alien on board. It then becomes the familiar last-woman-standing as one by one they meet the usual face-hugging / chest-bursting or other death by xenomorph. There is a lot that refers to one of more of the original films, including an appearance by an Android “played” by an AI version of Ian Holm (Ash in the Aliens). It is essentially a sequel to Alien that could be happening before, after or even about the same time as Aliens. So it fits into the original films rather than the newer ones from the 2010s. Although I like some of the references to the original films the problem with this for me is it has very little that we have not already seen in those originals. It does not bring much that is new to the franchise, unlike Prometheus and Covenant. Whilst I would have seen it as quite a good film if it was the 2nd or 3rd film in the franchise, I really don't see it adds anything more to the story. So it's fine if you just want more of the same, but for me if you are going to keep adding to a franchise the films needs to bring something original, some aspect of the overall plot not explored before, and this does not do that. I was actually getting slightly bored towards the end and would have been quite happy with it finishing maybe 20 minutes earlier. 6 / 10- 1

Thanks for the feedback @Skorpion Maybe put a ”storage” of both Cargobobs and Trucks in a location thats more timeconsuming to ”use”. For example at Guzmans Airfield. -

That sounds great, but do it as a different job. I really like this job, but not sure its suited for a fun PL. Mainly because it's hard to communicate without switching to game chat so you can hear your own teammates. I get the point of the plane being used to get the chopper, to get the trailer etc. but would you be willing to put some VERY slow choppers or something on the ground near-ish the Cargobob just in case. The plane would still be the fastest way for the team to get to the next capture ready for the cargobob to catch up, and the ground choppers wouldnt really be able to do much, but they would make it possible to continue in the event that the plane has been delivered and cant be used, or something else goes wrong.
