Worth mentioning
- RuSport and Rocketsport merged into one racing team shortly before the start of the season. The name of the new team is "RSports".
- The Zhuhai race was first postponed from May to October. However, a suitable date could not be arranged with the new organizer, so this event had to be canceled. The season finale in Phoenix in December also did not take place, as the sponsors' interest in the race in Arizona's capital was too low and the costs could only have been recouped in this way.
