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.

Rules and regulations here.

Series Information

Drivers

The drivers in the series must be 21 or under when the series begins. Drivers over this age can receive special dispensation to race, but this will only be in extreme cases.

Points System

The top-10 positions are rewarded with points. This is in a 18, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 3, 2, 1 format.

Winter Cup

The Winter Cup precedes the full F1RDS season. It is generally a three-round championship in one country which follows the same rules as the regular season except that there is no teams' championship. The 2015 F1RDS Winter Cup was the inaugural cup, and was hosted in Japan.
