2017 Velocity Elite season | |
Previous: 2016 | Next: 2018 |
The 2017 Velocity Elite season will be the first season of the Velocity Elite series, successor series to the previous F1 Rejects Indy Championship Series, which folded at the end of 2016.
Teams and drivers
Season Calendar
The new calendar saw the series vastly increase its international presence, returning to both the newly built Emerson Fittipaldi Speedway (a like-for-like reconstruction of the former Jacarepaguá oval) and Mexico City, as well as visiting France, the Netherlands and Singapore for the first time. The prevalence of foreign tracks saw the re-introduction of night races on road courses, not seen since Houston in 2006.
