That's right, TRE is looking for faster drivers.

Komárek under pressure?
With the experienced Jiri Komárek continuing to struggle in AutoReject 3.5 when compared to his Schröder team mate Thomas Butler, Schröder are believed to be considering their options, should Komárek fail to improve. While team-boss Bernd Schröder was quoted as saying he was "satisfied" with Komárek's performance at Oulton Park, it is thought that a failure to deliver feature race points could result in Komárek's contract with the Bielefeld-based team to be terminated.

I haven't heard anything from takagi_for_the_win, OsellaFA1L and The Lukas since the start of this season, so unless they pick up their activity they may face expulsion from the series.

Does editing on the wiki count? Not that I edit a lot on the wiki. (You can check wiki activity by checking Recent Changes).

Autosport wrote:Jones: "Marchesi is in the last chance saloon"

Following another confident win for his driver Marko Jantscher, Sammy Jones has publicly blasted his other pilot, Italian Alessandro Marchesi for a lack of effort.

Having won in the opening round of the season, Marchesi has since failed to score for the Jones team, and team boss Sammy is growing tired of the increasing gulf between the Italian and his Austrian teammate.

"Alessandro has the pace, we know this, he's done well in F2RWRS in the past" Jones told reporters.

"But quite frankly in recent races he's been lacking in effort and doesn't appear interested in attempting to match Marko when it comes to his qualifying and race performances. He's being comprehensively beaten, and that isn't great for a driver who's been around for a while and is really in the last chance saloon. He needs to sort it out, or risk kissing goodbye to his motorsport career for good. I'm not in this business to blow sunshine up the arses of crap drivers. I want to see hungry, eager drivers determined to do the best they can for my team, and at the moment Marchesi is a long, long way from doing that."

• Driver age limit of 30 years, i.e. drivers born in 1987 or earlier cannot take part in 2018. For this purpose the DOB of every driver must be entered during the entry process.
• Any champion of the series may not return for another season. This also concerns champions from the rpevious two incarnations of the series (RoLFS and IFRC). This is to prevent one driver dominating too much.
• Team activity checks will be conducted once every four race weekends with a warning given to all inactive team owners, and if the team owner has shown no interest towards the series within six weekends from the start of the season the team will be immediatedly booted out unless the team owner has specified a very good reason for his/her absence elsewhere on the forum or on IRC.

RejectSport wrote:Davies replaces promoted Robertson at Voeckler

With Michael Robertson leaving the Voeckler AR3.5 team for F1RWRS, the French outfit was left with a void to fill in their #1 car. Today they announced that former F2RWRS driver Jordan Davies will be replacing the Australian driver for the second half of the year.

The Brit, who showed his skills to great effect in F3RWRS, had less success in F2RWRS, and after continued problems in the series, opted to leave for pastures new, landing himself the seat for the rest of 2017.

"It's really great to get another chance in AR3.5," said Davies. "My last try didn't work so good, but I think with Mr. Voeckler's team, it'll go a lot better, and hopefully I can win a race again."

The young Brit will make his return at the next round at Road Atlanta, and will hope to close the 58 point gap in the teams championship to leaders Jones for his new employer.

It's like you don't even try to get good drivers...

Jordan Davies wrote:Yaaaaaaaay! That was an awesome race, it was really cool fighting with really good drivers like Rosco and Sebastian-- oh, Bastian. Anyway, it was really good to lead the whole way, I really expected the other guys to overtake me since I'm still not really used to the car, but I guess I was good enough defending so it went really well!

Bastiaan van Nieuwenhuijzen wrote:Ey, I had vay less chances in the feature than the others. That stupid bus transmission cost me in Australia, the team messed up the strategy in France, the setup was terrible in Austria, and all the other times I was Top 3. I don't need to explain anything!

Jerry de Boer wrote:Duuuuuuude, you don't get addicted to pot maaaan...it's like...cool...you know? It was totally like, not cool this weekend...some guy like, nicked my bong and it was totally bad-vibing me this whole time...like, if someone can find it I'd love you for ever...and I don't like Atlanta anyway, full of narks or some shite, maaan.

Marko Jantscher wrote:What a sub-optimal weekend. I inform you there was a small raised portion upon the circuit which unsettled the car's handling characteristic. The setup was completely optimal, but it did not cater for a lateral load I had not calculated would be there...ahem, Herr Interviewer? Are you sleeping, or just resting your optical nerves?

Prince Falik wrote:Rosco is doing a great job, if he keeps up the pressure he might just snatch the title. We are not going to punish Kenan Ardaoglu as it was a simple driver error that anyone could have made. However we are going to sign Mozambiques Samora Mondlane from F3RWRS to replace Kenan in Zandvoort. Who has scored points in 4 out of the 5 races which is more then everyone else.

FMecha wrote:It's official, we suck this season.

Jordan Davies wrote:Yeah it was really sad that it was a bad race for us, we could've had a good race but the guys ahead of me started badly and I didn't want to risk a bad overtake and then Nino just stopped and then my gearbox was stuck in 6th and I got told to just bring the car back to the garage. I think we might've scored more points had we not had to stop, so I'm not very happy about that but hopefully next time will be better!

Tuomas Suomanen wrote:First of all, I hope that Joe [Harmsky] isn't too badly injured. I haven't heard anything concrete yet, but it was a very violent accident. The roll hoop was crushed in the second impact, which is very worrying. I rolled my car earlier this year at Magny-Cours, and fortunately escaped with minor injuries. But had the roll hoop failed like it did in Harmsky's accident, I wouldn't have been that lucky.

My own race was quite unspectacular, two seventh places are valuable points.
