The 2018 Asian Formula Renault Series (AFR Series) represents the 19th edition since its establishment by FRD in 2000. The championship commenced on 17 March at the Zhuhai International Circuit and is scheduled to finish after six rounds, each featuring two races.

Starting from 2015, the competition has been categorized into two divisions: Pro (Class A), which includes teams operating the 2013 FR2.0 vehicles, and Elite (Class B), designated for those competing with earlier FR2.0 car models.

A strengthened collaboration with Renault Sport brought forth the Road to Champion scholarship program, aimed specifically at nurturing young Chinese talent. The highest-ranking driver across the final three events will be granted a chance to compete in Europe the next year under Renault Sport’s patronage.

By August 26, following Race Two at Sepang, BlackArts Racing Team clinched their fourth straight Team Championship, holding a commanding 67-point advantage before the season’s last round.
