AutoReject 2.0
The F1 Rejects Development Series is a competition hosted on F1Rejects.com as a feeder series for the RWRS and RoLFS championships, and aims to showcase the talent of the many young drivers that take part in the series. It allows teams in higher series to either loan out their drivers to teams or to set up their own junior team which will usually utilise the team's contracted young drivers.
The current season can be found here.
