Previous: 2015 | Next: 2017 |
The 2016 F2RWRS season will be the third season of the F2RWRS.
It will be the first season in which teams have more freedom over chassis and tyres. In 2015 teams could only use a Lola Chassis with Michelin tyres.
Teams can choose a chassis from Lola, Dallara, Zytek and Reynard as well as a tyre supply from either Michelin or Bridgestone.
Ford joined Lancia, Holden, BMW and Aston Martin as the engine suppliers for 2016. They replaced Audi who left to concentrate on other series.

Notes
- 1 - RonDen Engineering will be running the Lancia 016 engines, which will be rebadged as Zastavas for commercial reasons.
- 2 - Masta Valsattis' ban from the 2015 F2RWRS Ameican Grand Prix carried over into 2016. Justin Case replaced him for the first round.
- 3 - Gulf M/Power Racing were forced to use Michelin tyres after Bridgestone fulfilled their quota.
- 4 - Scuderia Lancia Alitalia claim that they will refuse to use the Michelin tyres and will race on the Oz Racing wheels without tyres.
- 5 - Raul Souto Maior was signed to race for the season, but was diagnosed with leukaemia during preseason testing, forcing him to miss the season. Jack Christopherson Jr, returning to motorsport after a forced sabbatical year, returned to the fray to replace him.
- 6 - After Scuderia Lancia Alitalia were found in breach of their contract with engine supplier Lancia in the F1RWRS, Lancia's parent company Fiat ordered that all Lancia branding be removed from the F2RWRS grid, instead opting to rebadge them under the names of other organisations under the Fiat group.
- 7 - Foster's Good Call Racing suffered financial collapse before the start of the season. They were renamed Plus One Racing Engineering after a management buyout.
- 8 - After the shock withdrawal of Kingfisher Racing due to the owner's ill health, the Fusion Motorsports Group took over the team, including all their equipment and the contract of Martin van de Maeyede. Latvian Matthias Valsattis was released however, and replaced with 2014 F2RWRS champion Mitchell Macklin.
