The '''2018 Motorsport season''' signified a major shift in the racing landscape, with the Reject World Race Series franchise winding down and being asset stripped by its rivals. What was formerly [[F1RWRS]] transformed into the '''AutoReject World Series''', acting as a new pinnacle series for the AR franchise, with [[F2RWRS]] and [[F3RWRS]] were wound down, and replaced with rebooted FIA sanctioned world '''Formula 2''' and '''Formula 3''' series, to support its long running [[Alternate Formula One|Formula 1]] product.

However, AutoReject also lost series to rival franchises. The much celebrated [[AutoReject Super Touring]] series left the AR fold and joined the FIA fold, rebranding as the '''International Procar Championship'''. The [[AutoReject GTi]] series, a feeder to ARST, thus folded, and its organisers opted to go solo by founding the [[2018 SEAT Leon Supercopa season|SEAT Leon Supercopa]].

Some series also returned after absences; [[AutoReject 2.0]] returned, having previously been split into two seperate regional series in 2017. There were also reborn variations of the [[Rejectrucks Super Series]] and [[Reject Rallycross Championship]], returning as '''Reject SuperTruck Series''' and '''Group B Rallycross Championship''' respectively.
