2018 Elite Racing League season
Previous: 2017 Next: 2019
The 2018 Elite Racing League season was the 3rd Elite Racing League season, competed over 12 races in 12 rounds. It is a non canon season (Like all Elite Racing League Seasons) Drivers and teams throughout the season battled for the Drivers and Manufacturer Championships. It started on the 18th March in the USA in Long Beach, California and ended on the TBA August in Great Britain at Silverstone. It was simulated using Forza Motorsport 7. The defending Drivers Champion was Josh Smith and the Defending Manufacturers Champions were Chevrolet. The series continued its corporate relationship with IndyCar meaning, if they so wished, IndyCar drivers would be able to participate. Michelin remained as the Tyre Supplier. TBA won the Drivers Championship. TBA won the Manufacturers Championship. The field was reduced to just 2 manufacturers (Chevrolet and Honda) following long time manufacturer Toyota terminated their contract during the off season before pre season testing to focus on their World Endurance Championship and NASCAR programmes.
