The 2018 AutoReject 3.5 Africa Cup was a winter series that took place at the start of 2018. Like last year's Middle Eastern Cup, it was an extension of the regular 2018 season, serving as an expanded form of pre-season testing. Teams were entitled to bring only one car to the four-race series which took place in South Africa, Namibia and Angola.

Notes:

  • 1 - De Friis' entry to the Cup was withdrawn shortly before the first race after a fire destroyed the team's base in the Netherlands.
  • 2 - Although being on the initial entry list, Speedworld Racing failed to appear at any of the off-season events due to not paying their travel fees.
