Revision as of 06:02, 6 June 2011
The 2011 Superleague season is the 12th GPVWC Superleague season.
2011 turned out to be another year in which the reigning Champion, Finnish Janne Tanskanen, would not be defending his title. Tanskanen announced his retirement officially in a press statement just before Christmas, on the 23rd of December, 2010.
While the league clearly loses out on one hand, on another hand some people considered that both the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships to be thrown wide open. New talent had emerged at the end of the previous season and the rumour was that the league would be losing another of its top racing drivers and previous champion, Joe Consiglio, through retirement.
In the event, Consiglio didn't retire - signing another contract with Nordsjoen was surely going to keep the teams hopes high for consolidating a record-equalling three consecutive Constructors' titles in a row.

Teams and drivers
† Mal McKee replaced himself as test/reserve driver with Liam Hatchell after the Japanese grand prix.
‡ Adam Rouse pulled out of the competition after the Austrian grand prix.
New entries
The first new team to secure a place in the Superleague was Nijo Racing, owned and managed by Chris Williamson. Nijo came straight in from a successful Masters season, bypassing the Supercup, and looking eager to carry that success into the Superleague. Initially having signed Tom Parker and Ashley Walsh, the team underwent many changes in driver line-up in the first half of the season, with Parker pulling out after only a few races.
Triple-Double Racing was the next team to secure a place in the Superleague, founded and initially managed by Ben Warren before Phil Perkins took the reins scant days before the opening race. Driver Jyri Lylykorpi was initially linked with the team, however the team secured GPVWC stalwarts Adam Rouse and Phil Perkins.
The final new team to secure a place was Midnight Motorsport. Driver Nick Rowland's brainchild, the team managed to secure both himself and experienced racing driver and manager Dave Carr-Smith, which seemed to promise a strong team in bid for the Constructors' and Drivers' Championships. Reliability problems and bad luck were the order of the day for the beginning of the season for Midnight, however.
