The AutoReject 3.5 category, the primary feeder series to the AutoReject World Series, will undergo a rebrand to the Auto2 Series name, ahead of the ARWS's projected return.

Following the 2020 hiatus, the AR3.5 squads on the entry list for that season will be invited to return, albeit with new teams expected to make the move into the rebranded category.

The series will debut a new car, with Jones Racing Group providing its new Jones 201 chassis to all teams participating in the championship, while Ford has produced a three-litre V8 engine - the XRA2 - based on technology from its ARWS powertrains. Initial power figures suggest that the XRA2 has an output of around 600bhp.

The Auto2 format will also undergo a change, with the 40-car entry lists discarded in place of a maximum of 26 cars.

The heat format will also depart, and instead the series will opt for two races at each venue - with two separate qualifying sessions for each race.


Okay folks, here's the situation. I'm picking this up as ARWS is currently in the works - I'll run it on GP2 for ease. Calendar and points format to be decided, pending the parent series' schedule.

Here's the teams that were down for 2020, minus those who are currently inactive. Please state any intentions of a return by the 15th November. If you don't have a team in the series, please indicate if you'd like one, and I'll add you to the reserve list.

All prospective drivers must be between 17-30 as of 1st January 2021, must be fictional, and have sufficient experience within the canon leagues. Drivers with no more than 16 ARWS/F1 entries will be permitted.

I'm gonna be all over that reserve list.

Best In The World-supported drivers Kika van den Heiligenberg and Sandra Yoo are available unless an F2 team snatches them up first.

Just like in F2, RonDen will rebrand as Redfox Racing, will field Kenny Rosseels and if TommyKl still agrees will also keep Yael De Bock.

The main explanation will be for the ARWS thread, but I will run Blokkmonsta Motorsport once more, but RUF has departed from the team.

Thanks for running this again Taxi! :D

Team Name: Redfox Racing
Colours: using fox colours (oh no what a surprise) a bit like a 1999 williams perhaps, but black instead of blue, doesn't need to be an exact copy. I just like how the colour gradations of that car are quite foxy.
Sponsors adapted to overall livery.
Spnsors, TNT, Base, whatever YDB brings + small octan logos.
Edit: please add Ghelamco, they love throwing money at things. And Fabrique National (Herstal) will also invest, though their logos should be subtle.

Team name: Blokkmonsta Motorsport
Colours: Yellow and Black
Sponsors: Blokkmonsta Logo of course. The team is depleted of sponsors after 2020, so probably just Sparco and a handful of minor sponsors.

Thank you!

Scuderia Adriatica is glad to announce Kwon Sung-Tae as their first confirmed driver for the 2021 Auto2 championship. The 19-year old Korean has enjoyed a fulminant start to his single-seater career, winning the 2019 Asian Formula 4 Championship and finishing second in the 2020 Asian Formula 3 Championship, and is now eager to prove his worth on the worldwide stage of Auto2.

Formula 3 race winner Casciaro joins Adriatica Auto2 operation

After announcing Sung-Tae Kwon last week, Scuderia Adriatica has completed their lineup for the maiden Auto2 season by signing 2020 European Formula 3 race winner John-Paul Casciaro to the #27 car. The 17-year old Gibraltarian, who has been backed by Red Bull since the beginning of 2020, comes off the back of two consistent Formula 3 seasons, with a win at Zandvoort in his second year begin the highlight of his career so far.


Owing to my drivers' personal sponsors, Commerzbank and Leonardo are to be replaced by Red Bull, LG and Korean Air on the Adriatica livery. Eni will stay :)

Drivers signed with permission from DEC owners/Ataxia in the case of drivers with absent DECs

Rejectsport wrote:Blokkmonsta Announces Auto2 Lineup
After a long period of silence from the garage Blokkmonsta Motorsport will announce its drivers for the 2021 Auto2 Season.

Eduardo Armando will stay for another season after the hiatus, while Formula 3 Asia driver Zhou Xiaoping will make his debut in the series.

"We are happy with our lineup. Armando has dialed it in, and we look forward to seeing how Zhou performs. After the chaos caused by COVID-19 we are itching to get back to racing."

Critics speculate that Xiaoping was brought onboard due to his sponsorship from Evergrade Group, and it's no secret that Blokkmonsta's leadership is in turmoil and starving for funds. While this signing should keep them in the black for 2021 the team's long-term future in Auto2 remains uncertain.


Because both drivers bring sponsors please add them to the livery when you can:

Balboa Bank & Trust
Evergrande Group
