The 2017 AutoReject 2.0 Europe season will be the first European season of the AutoReject 2.0 series having dropped its previous F1RDS moniker. This new name came as part of a reformat of the series, notably the addition of a North America series, the removal of the Winter Cup whilst introducing a feature and sprint race format along with a new points system. The new identity came as part of a partnership with the former International Formula Reject Challenge, which became AutoReject 3.5 for the 2017 season.
