Paddock Chat is here for all League drivers to use as they wish to dicuss the league and racing in general.
Drivers are also invited here to give us all a little insight into who you are.
It serves two main purposes,
We all get to know each other a little bit better, its more fun when you are battling with a person you know a little.

It also will serve as background when we brief the Formula Renault 3.5 League reporter David O'Brundle for the well known RD sim racing publication “The Blown Diffuser”. We plan to publish a few somewhat factual somewhat tongue in cheek articles to spread our/your fame and it helps if we know a bit about you.
It is of course entirely optional, do as much or as little as you want or none at all. Its cool.

The inter team banter and rivalry will also have a home here and hopefully will help us to cement a strong paddock and grid culture so we all turn up and get more from this League.

Yes Martin, we welcome/encourage skins but defaults are fine. (maybe your new team mate does skins?)
BTW Gijs is including in the Mod a system that puts the team cars in same garages side by side so each team should use the same original car from the in-game choice..

That's the best part of racing sims so of course!
Trickiest bit of the Fr 3.5 2014?
Haven't driven it that much yet so can't really say but I could imagine using DRS effectively to be little tricky as I have never raced cars with DRS.
Best Sim-Racing result?
Reigning overall V-WEC champions with @Aleksi Kivelä
Goals for the season?
First and foremost to beat Aleksi. That won't be easy though as he'll surely be one of the title contenders... (let the mind games begin!)
Anything else you want us to know?
I'm extremely slow learner of new cars and tracks so it's going to require A LOT of work in the coming weeks if I want to be competitive. Luckily I have a good practice partner in Aleksi, too bad his setups are horrible so he isn't of much help though :roflmao:
