2016 International Formula Reject Challenge season
The 2016 International Formula Reject Challenge season was the first season of IFRC, a new series created to fill the void created by the cancellation of Rejects of LFS due to serious safety concerns.
Teams and drivers
All engines are of 3.0 V8 configuration.
Notes
1 Terry Hawkin was transferred pre-season by the Jones Racing outfit after Sammy Jones became frustrated with the level of bans and bad stewarding decisions made by the F2RWRS council. Gilles Massinion and Connor O'Heagan, who had been previously contracted to drive the full season, were to have equal seat time in the second car alongside Hawkin. It was later decided that Massinion would instead move to F2RWRS to fill the seat vacated by Hawkin.
2 Toru Fukui was originally going to drive Team Rojo's second car, but was sacked before the season due to an alleged drug addiction. The team's test and reserve driver Julia Schilling was promoted to the empty race seat.
3 Kingfisher Racing were forced to withdraw from the series due to their owner suffering from a serious illness. Their spot on the grid was taken by the new Speedworld Racing team.
4 Brucie Kibbutz was originally intended to drive for Aeroracing Engineering, but was called up to F1RWRS by Plus One at the last minute. In return Plus One sent their F1RDS driver Scott Marsden to Aeroracing.
Confirmations

- ↑ Jules Vergne moved full-time to F1RICS, and was replaced by David Tenpecost.
- ↑ Josh Carlisle moves to Team IKEA after being sacked from Falik Arrows' F2RWRS team, replacing Raffaella Nicchi.
- ↑ Former LGPS driver Geoff Donnelly replaces Matt Brinson, who was injured in a serious accident at the Australian round.
