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…

179Rate the Last Film you Watched 2: Electric Boogaloo
Throne of Blood (1957) dir Akira Kurosawa This is Kurosawa's version of Macbeth. It's not like the more usual Shakespearian adaptations that use the original lines, rather it's the same basic story with different lines in a different setting; medieval Japan. It's unmistakeably Macbeth right from the start as the camera pans across a misty, mysterious, highland landscape. Toshirô Mifune stars Washizu (i.e. Macbeth), initially a soldier (I guess you would say Samurai, although I am not totally sure of the correct usage of that) in the army of the local lord (i.e. King Duncan). Washizu and another soldier, Miki (i.e. Macduff), are on the way back from a victorious battle to their lord's castle. They get lost in forest and come across a spirit (equivalent of the witches) who foretells their promotion and that eventually Washizu will be the new lord but it will be Miki's son who succeeds him. They are promoted, Washizu tells his wife (Lady Macbeth, obviously) about the prophecy and it is she who encourages him on the path of deceit, betrayal and murder that will see him full-fill the rest of the prophecy but attempt to change it so that a son of his own succeeds him. One thing I did find slightly odd, and funny, is that whereas in Shakespeare's original (and the historical facts it is based on) Macbeth becomes King of Scotland, here Washizu becomes Lord of Spider's Web Castle. I am assuming that in Japanese “Spider's Web Castle” sounds more impressive than it does in English. It is very well made, of course, and the actors are good, particularly Isuzu Yamada as Lady Washizu. Like Olivier's Shakespeare adaptions it does not seem dated, and I think the Shakespearian style is what helps there. There is some very impressive cinematography, both of the landscapes and some of the castle interior scenes. One that sticks in my mind is when Lady Washizu hatches one of her plans we see her walk into another room, that is pitch black and then emerge shortly after carrying some bottles of drugged saki. The camera stays fixed for all of this, with the doorway to the dark room in the centre so it's almost like she disappears and then reappears, as if using magic. Definitely well worth watching if you are into Shakespeare or Samurai films. 9 / 10- 1

588What was the most recent thing you bought?
Here's the last thing I bought! It's mighty expensive at $1600, but it makes a easy go of a complex operation. Set it and forget it and keep a sponge wet it's about all it takes! All it takes is a 4-day dry and a 4-day cure. -

I agree @djw180 The Fall of the House of Usher is worth a watch for Mark Hamill’s performance alone. Plus, I’ve been on the fence about watching Kaos. I will definitely give it a go now. Thanks!- 2

TV shows
I just finished watching The Fall of the House of Usher on Netflix. Highly recommended! It's a horror-drama in 8 episodes, very loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe short stories or poems with each episode named after a different work of his. I have never read any of them and some had not even heard of, but I now at least know the brief synopsis of them from Wikipedia. What the creators have done is woven together a plot primarily based on the short story "The Fall of the House of Usher" that greatly expands on that. The first episode has the same name as the whole series. Roderick Usher, corrupt billionaire head of a major pharmaceutical company, invites an old adversary, lawyer August Dupin, to his family's derelict house, to confess to a host of crimes. Dupin has been trying to prosecute the Ushers for decades but they always got away with it. Now, following the recent deaths of all six of his children, supposedly in freak, horrific, unrelated accidents, Roderick wants to come clean. Most of the story is now told in flash back, both to the early years of Roderick and his sister Maddie (the brains behind their rise to power) and the children's recent deaths. The next 6 episode each focus on the violent deaths of a different son or daughter, each related in some way to the Edgar Allen Poe story that episode is named after. The final episode, The Raven, then brings everything to it's conclusion, revealing the true cause of all that has happened. It's very, very good. It is a bit bloody and gory at times, but never over-the-top, always done for a reason and usually to fit in with the story that death is named after. It features Mark Hamil in the most un-Luke-Skywalker-like role you can imagine. I never really rated him as an actor in Star Wars, but here, as the Usher's ruthless lawyer he is excellent. Another Netflix series I think is worth a mention is Kaos It's a modern day story of Greek Gods and Heroes, in a world where they most definitely exist and are still worshipped by mortals. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus and there's other recognisable faces amongst the rest of the cast, including David Thewlis as one of Zeus' brothers and fellow god Hades and Suzie Izzard as one of the Fates. It loosely follows the story of Orpheus in the Underworld, but this is part of a bigger plot with both gods and mortals having to accept what fate has in store for them, whether they like it or not.- 1
