2017 Canon Motorsport Calendar

The 2017 Motorsport season will feature the 8th year of Reject World Race Series competition. The Road To F1RWRS entered it's 4th year, encompassing the 8th Formula 1 Rejects World Race Series season, the 4th seasons of F2RWRS and F3RWRS, the third year of F1 Rejects Development Series, and the first year of AutoReject 3.5, successor to International Formula Reject Challenge, which in turn had was successor series to the defunct Rejects of LFS. RTF series continue to count towards a RejectLicence, which determines eligibility for F1RWRS. New to the open-wheel scene were the 2017 Pacific Rim Cup (PRC) and 2017 AutoReject 3.5 Middle Eastern Cup (MEC), the winter series of F2RWRS and AutoReject 3.5, respectively.

2017 also saw the emergence of a new rival body to RWRS in the form of AutoReject. As well as absorbing the IFRC, it inherited the F1 Rejects Development Series, turning it into AutoReject 2.0. Another large addition to the AR family was the series previously know as F1 Rejects Indy Championship Series, which merged with Tony George's Indy series and formed the brand new AutoReject Indy World Cup series. AutoReject also took a large stake in tin-tops, bringing in Rejects Touring Car Championship and the Lupo GTI Championship were brought into the fold, under the new names AutoReject Super Touring and AutoReject GTi respectively.

With F1RSTC having collapsed in late 2016, the season was opened by PRC and MEC as well as an entirely unique series, the Toyota Reject Racing Series. It was purely aimed for drivers who for one reason or another had lost their managers and had the future of their race career at risk. The initial season was deemed a success as most of the entrants found new management and race seats, with only a few opting for retirement. The 2016-2017 Formula Reject Nippon Championship season also had its last race at the start of 2017, with the Japanese series having plans to become part of AutoReject for the next season.

In Australia, Formula 5000 was resurrected using old F2RWRS chassis coupled with V8 Supercars engines, becoming an entirely new, unaffiliated open-wheel franchise for rookies and experienced veterans alike.

Returning for a second season was the GT-Rejects World Championship, while the tale of Rejectrucks Super Series ended after its inaugural season.

Motorcycle racing entered the RWRS canon with Rejects World Motorcycle Trophy.
