All of the vehicles from the previous series were found slowly decaying in a field, except for the Trabants as the Duraplast bodies will outlast humanity as we know it (even the faded pink one with the vague outlines of Cillit Bang decals from its former life). Someone nicked all of the engines that had previously been swapped out of various VW and Fiat products, though someone who had a barn full of interesting flowerpots came to the rescue with enough engines to power the entire grid for at least half a lap.
Will this series actually happen this time? Who knows, it’s not like MinardiFan posts up new series’ in the PMMF that never go ahead like the last two iterations of REECCS, the Touring Car World Series and that demolition derby thing.
The cars:
- Vaz (Lada) 2101
- Skoda 110R Coupe
- Trabant 601
- Polski-Fiat 126p
- Dacia 1310
- Wartburg 353w
- Moskvich 2140
The calendar:
Every track will be selected from the massive database of rFactor tracks using the almighty based RNG… didn’t steal this idea from WaffleCat’s excellent Random Racing League at all, no sir. If you have any track suggestions, feel free to request them and I'll pop them in the list of tracks for the RNG.
The points:
Don’t really matter, though the post-race awards will most likely return.
TV coverage:
There may be a live stream, presented in glorious PotatoVision at 480p with a 380kbps bitrate, otherwise the usual badly edited highlights will return.

Number: [optional]
Livery:
For this series you can submit as many possible entries as you like, however only the 2 or 3 best entries from each user will be selected based on my (extremely vague) criteria as shown below.
Entries I’d like to see:
- Anything based on the history of the F1/GP Rejects forum, as the 10th anniversary is not too far away.
- Any driver who had/has an important role throughout the ASMF canon
- Returning drivers from previous REECCS series
- Tribute liveries to reject teams and drivers
- Drivers with ridiculously silly names (but not too long since rFactor has a character limit for names)
- Anything that makes use of a bad pun
- Anyone who supplies a livery with their entry – this will save me from making all the skins and losing all motivation to run the series in the process.
- Memes.
Entries I don’t want to see:
- Generic new drivers with no backstory – there’s plenty of F4 series in the ASMF if you want to enter a driver like that.
