The Rejects-1 World Championship was a multi-make open-wheel racing series utilising the poorest performing Formula One cars from the previous 5 seasons, then 3 seasons for each next cycles. The series was owned and managed by the Australian-based Markus Mk. Company, established by the Markus siblings - Giuseppe, Quinn and Giselle. Giuseppe and Giselle held majority stakes, overseeing the day-to-day running of the venture, whilst Quinn focused the series' safety.
In 1997, after a long turbulent relations between the team owners and the series organizers, the problem deemed unsolvable as few wants to compromise. Withing March 1997, Markus Mk Co. announced they are cancelling the series altogether. Markus family claimed one of each chassis type ever built, while team owners can auction or sell the chassis. Each remaining upgrades fund at bonus money are all theirs.
