Schröder sign Komárek

New AutorReject 3.5 Series outfit Schröder today announced the signing of Czech driver Jiri Komárek as second driver in the team. Bernd Schröder, team principal of Schröder, said: "We are pleased to have signed Jiri Komárek to our team. I firmly believe that his experience will be an asset to the team." Thomas Butler will still drive for the team in the Middle Eastern Cup.

The race numbers for Ural Racing, Écurie Prenois, Speedworld Racing, Clockwork Racing, Minarae, Euromotor International and Schröder have been updated to reflect this, and Schröder receive a second car after all as they originally planned. Finally, CaptainGetz12 gets the last remaining spot on the grid.

You can see the changes on the provisional entry list (also available as plain text in the first post of this topic).

I can offer you Verna Klien, the Austrian who competed in the last three rounds of 2016 for Takagi Racing Enterprises. She qualified for all the finals in those rounds and finished 10th in the Japanese final. She has also had experience in F1RSTC (1 race, finished 15th), F3RWRS (1 race, finished 20th), and was to be entered in Formula Female but if she gets a drive here I will replace her in that.

Briton James Morgan currently competing in the 2016-2017 FRENCH season and would be intrested in competing in AR3.5 for 2017

...and Clockwork will take him if he's desperate enough for the drive.

Zidan has to finish his run of FRENCH before coming over, and the 2 drivers that we tested for AutoRejects 2.0 haven't exactly had much experience either..

Just to clarify, you only have one car unless someone quits.

Will last year's livery do?

Didn't you hand over Massini's DEC to me at the start of the 2016 GTRWC season? Because that is certainly what I thought happened

Nope. You just took him without ever asking. Which I guess is understandable seeing as Aerond said nothing, but it still means Massini signs for Minarae.

Unless Aerond specifically said you had Massini's DEC, you don't have it. You can't just assume you have a DEC based on a vague statement like that, or half the drivers in the PMMF would be changing hands.

As I said, that post is ambiguous. But unlike what Biscotti said, I did ask before employing him

Autosport wrote:Christopherson Jr heading to Speedworld?

Rumours are emerging that Jack Christopherson Jr may yet continue his single seater career, specifically targeting Speedworld Racing for a drive in AR 3.5 for 2017.

The Englishman, who previously finished 3rd in F3RWRS for his family outfit before a financially-enforced sabbatical, is rumoured to have finally been able to put together a big enough financial package to return to single seaters full-time.

Neither party answered requests for comment on the rumours.
