Teams and drivers
The amount of team slots was reduced from 20 to 15 for the 2016 season, co-inciding with the move to rFactor 2 for the 2016 Career Ladder series.
The following teams have confirmed their 2016 participation.
- 1 GPVWC Academy will only run a single car in the 2016 season.
Team changes
- Ice Cold Racing, Team Proline, Karjala Racing, Racing Team Schroten and TG Racing (formerly Centurion Grand Prix) were all promoted to the Supercup.
- Dogecoin Racing, Downforce iZone Racing, Katana Motorsports, Triple Twenty and Viking Racing all did not continue into the 2016 season. Downforce's position as the 1-car team used to nuture drivers was subsequently taken over by the GPVWC Academy.
New entries
- EVAL Simracing Team, Magenta WRT, Sportscar Driving Evolution and Tēafor Motorsport are all rookies to the career ladder in the 2016 season.
2016 Calendar
Testing
The 2016 testing schedule is as follows:
Test | Date | Venue |
---|---|---|
Pre-Season Test | 16th February 2016 | Dubai Autodrome, Dubailand |
Calendar changes
- The Portuguese and Singapore Grands Prix were both removed from the calendar
- The calendar was extended to 18 events seeing the return of the Mexican Grand Prix for the first time since the series' inaugural season in 2012 whilst also seeing the first running of the Russian Grand Prix.
Rule changes
Technical
- For the first time since 2009, the simulator of choice for the Career Ladder was upgraded from rFactor to its sequel, rFactor 2.
- With a change in simulator came a change in vehicle as the Williams JPH1B FIA F2 car was utilised for the first time.
Sporting
- Also due to the switchover in simulator, for the first time in its history, the grid of Formula Challenge was decreased with a view towards more secure server stability alongside cleaner racing. Sixteen individual outfits (including the league owned GPVWC Academy) raced in 2016 compared to the twenty-one which raced in 2015.
