Difference between revisions of "1996 Rejects-1 World Championship season"

Latest revision as of 13:36, 29 January 2017

The 1996 Rejects-1 World Championship season was the third season of the Rejects-1 World Championship series.

Changes are EuroBrun at the beginning removed from the chassis list as the development team failed to modify the car to go faster. Instead the 1992 Brabham BT60B is added to the chassis choices. While Coloni C3C after GLB switched chassis was declared obsolete too. Then Rockets to Russia asked for exclusive use of the EuroBrun due to tight budget, which the Rejects-1 comission gave permission to it. Engines are also tuned to have 5 extra horsepowers for free. The series also has solved the financial issues that striked during last 1/3 period in 1995. It would be the final year of the current generation of cars.
