The 2018 AutoReject 3.5 season will be the third season of AutoReject 3.5. This is the first season of the series as a direct feeder category to ARWS (previously known as F1RWRS).
Like in the previous year, the regular season was preceded by a non-championship cup, this time in Africa as an extended form of pre-season testing.
RonDen Racing Engineering are the defending drivers' champion team and Falik Arrows are the defending teams' champions.
Teams and Drivers
Notes:
- 1 - Although being on the initial entry list, Speedworld Racing failed to appear at the first race of the season due to not paying their travel fees. A further investigation into the team's finances revealed that they were essentially bankrupt and were banned from the series as a result.
- 2 - Chacko Palaniappan accumulated too many penalty points during the pre-season Africa Cup and was banned from completing at the Round of Australia as a result. Jerry de Boer stood in as his replacement, and after impressing the team in Autralia it was decided that he should do the whole season instead of Palaniappan.
