About
Founded in 1996 by office supply magnate and gentleman driver, Clemens Frindle, F-Rennsport has been a staple team in the European GT Racing scene throughout last 3 decades. Initially starting out as a mere hobbyist team that rarely challenged for anything more than a back of the grid finish, the 2010's has seen a massive step forward in the team's performance, with the team picking up unofficial factory backing with Audi, and beginning to hire an ever rotating cast of skilled veterans, and young up-and-commers to pilot the team's number 1 entry, while the team's privateer spirit is kept alive by the secondary car driven by Frindle himself, and his daughter Brianna.

With the company's future stable, he began to branch into multiple hobbies, but found a keen interest in auto racing. Doing some races with other teams focused of gentlemen drivers, he took the plunge and created F-Rennsport in 1996, and the rest is history.

Being the daughter of someone as passionate about racing as Clemens Frindle, it was a given that Brianna would attempt to follow the normal motorsports ladder to the the top of the sport...
...that didn't happen. While not exceedingly bad at driving, she gained a reputation for having "interesting" racecraft which often put her in situations where no one was coming out the winner. After getting left behind in the feeder series, she ended up joining up with her dad and running races together, which his more measured approach and her more edgy driving making for interesting, if not fully competitive pairing.

Mel Camilla
Rank/Archetype: Regular + Hotlapper
Tripwire: @camella
Gender: Male (He/Him)
Age: 31
Birthdate: July 2nd
Height: 5’ ft 10” in (178 cm)
Birthplace: Port Louis, Mauritius
Interests: Tuning
{Spoiler}
Looking at his nationality, you might be thinking, "Where the heck did he get his experience from if he is from the island of Mauritius?"
He was born into a very wealthy family; in fact, one of the wealthiest families on Mauritius. However, he was never treated very well by his parents. Most of his early life he had mostly been shut in by his parents and had been physically and mentally abused to the point where he had begun to develop depression. At the age of 15 he had been sent off to the US because his parents simply did not want him any more, and for once Mel was happy. Mel had taken whatever valuables he had and sold them in the US so that he could start off with some money.
He got a job as a mechanic and from there begun to learn and appreciate cars. From his earnings, he purchased a used S2000 and began to work on something that he could call his own. Still receiving money from the workplace he was at, he began to see his dream build come to life. Mel had begun racing his build at his local track , VIR, which is where he began to realize his natural talent for racing. He went on to win many tuner league races in the states and global tuner leagues had started to take notice.
After a one off appearance with the short-lived Team Skull gave him international attention for his car control, Camilla drifted around as a driver in various different series at different levels, with this season's home being at F-Rennsport. A now known quantity, he'll make up the more experienced side of the team's #1 car.

{Spoiler}
The quintessential young modern driver, Rayner Kong started his career in the obvious place of karting, and worked his way up through the junior formula ranks. Being signed to a WGP development program, he's been finding his feet in a multitude of different disciplines to good results. Known for having a prodigious level of racecraft, he'll usually be seen working his way up through a field vs starting on pole, but keeps a cool head and his cars clean. On his downtime he's an amateur pole vaulter who could've gone pro if not for his racing commitments. This season he's landed a seat at F-Rennsport partnered with the established Mel Camilla, and they're both looking to lead the team to the Aeternam Crown
