The 2017 Asian Formula Renault Series (AFR Series) represents the 18th iteration since its establishment by FRD in 2000. The championship spanned from 18 March at the Zhuhai International Circuit to 17 October at the Zhejiang International Circuit, encompassing six events each consisting of two races.
From 2015 onwards, the competition has been segmented into two divisions: Class A includes teams and drivers utilizing the 2013 FR2.0 vehicle model, while Class B consists of participants operating older FR2.0 specifications.
In collaboration with Renault Sport, this season launched the Road to Champion scholarship initiative aimed at nurturing emerging Chinese talent. The highest-ranking driver across the final three rounds receives backing to compete in European series the following year under Renault Sport's mentorship.
