The Rejects-1 World Championship was a multi-make open-wheel racing series utilising the poorest performing Formula One cars from the previous 5 seasons, then 3 seasons for each next cycles. The series was owned and managed by the Australian-based Markus M.k. Company, established by the Markus siblings - Giuseppe, Quinn and Giselle. Giuseppe and Giselle held majority stakes, overseeing the day-to-day running of the venture, whilst Quinn focused the series' safety. Unfortunately, by the end of 1995 despite of the success of the series, a sudden financial trouble hit. As the series concept becomes outdated, the money needed to add new cars and the new generation of cars is not possible. Markus M.k. Company decided to shut Rejects-1 immediately after 1995 season ended.
