The 2011 Race of Champions was the first running of the competition and was intended to be held in partnership with Grand Prix Online (GPO) but due to availablity problems for several has subsequently become a GPVWC based event. It was held on November 30th and December 7th and featured the best talent from the Superleague and Supercup competitions competing for the coveted title of Champion of Champions.

Format

The invitational competition included 32 drivers - selected from last season's top drivers - organised in pairs. 16 top drivers in the Superleague and 16 top drivers in the Supercup have been selected subject to availability. To promote greater competition, the pairings were formed by one driver for each of the leagues; in addition, to guarantee a fair and balanced competition, the pairs were organised in inverted ranking orders, where possible, with the top ranked Superleague drivers pairing with the lower ranked Supercup drivers and vice versa. The teams were organised in a knock-out format, with the qualifiers taking place on November 30th and the final rounds on December 7th.

Match-up Format

Each 'match-up' was comprised of a maximum of five, one 'full-lap' - twice over the line - races in a best-of-five format. This gave each driver in the pairing the opportunity to race both opponents. Where a tie-break was required then the driver from each team with the least wins went go head to head to decide which team progressed to the next stage of the competition. For example;

  • Driver 1 vs Driver 3
  • Driver 2 vs Driver 4
  • Driver 1 vs Driver 4
  • Driver 2 vs Driver 3
  • - Tie Break if Required -
