The ARWS Australian Grand Prix is a race on the AutoReject World Series calendar. The event has been held every year since the series' inaugural season in 2010, being one of just 5 Grand Prix to have been held for all 10 seasons. It has been held at two venues - the Hockenheimring, and the Norisring.

History

The German Grand Prix featured on the inaugural F1RWRS calendar, being held at the Hockenheimring. Over the next two years, the series expanded in Germany to four events by 2012 - the German Grand Prix, the Bavarian Grand Prix held at the Norisring, the Saxon Grand Prix at Oschersleben and the Luxembourg Grand Prix at the Nurburgring.

The Daniel Prieto-led takeover of F1RWRS for the 2013 season determined, in a bid to expand the series global presence, that 4 Grand Prix was simply too much for one country. Like the Australian events, the German events were condensed into one Grand Prix - the German Grand Prix - to be held at the former host of the Bavarian Grand Prix, the Norisring.
