The 2011 Supercup season is the 4th GPVWC Supercup season and uses GP2 cars as it's base. So far the series has proved a great success, providing many close battles and an ever-growing team and driver list.

The season started with reigning champion Christoph Lichtenstein having stepped back into a management role at his new CP Lotus Supercup team. The reigning constructors champions, Draig Racing were also noticeable in their absence in the early rounds, as were runners-up PB Racing. Despite these gaps, the initial field included some 11 teams, although this would later increase to 14 teams and then 18 teams.

Many contenders from 2010 returned to compete once more including Sam Millar, Liam Hatchell and Chris Williamson, although they were also joined by several new and promising drivers such as Bart De Vos, Lewis Redshaw and Pavel Loknovski.

New entries

The season start saw renewed interest in the Supercup series and with it came three new teams for 2011. The first of these were Malta Force GP, a Maltese team founded by Superleague driver Jason Muscat who made an immediate impact on the series thanks to the talent of Bart de Vos. The 2nd of these were Triple-Double Racing who under the leadership of Ben Warren made the step up to Supercup, having previously competed as Triple-Double Engineering in the Masters and Meganes series. The last of the new teams to enter at the season start were CP Lotus, an Anglo-German team who had also competed in the Masters series in 2010.

As the season got under way the demand continued to grow, prompting GPVWC officials to expand the number of available team slots to 15. One of the new teams who took advantage of this were Water Blue Racing who joined Supercup returnees PB Racing on the grid from Round 4 onwards. Water Blue Racing is a Greek team, who have been active in several other high profile leagues and is led by Georgios Davakos who left Nordsjoen Racing.

Round 6 at the A1-Ring saw another GPVWC Masters team join the Supercup ranks in the form of Cornish team Kernow Sport. The team led by Superleague veteran Mark Wicks suffered a disappointing debut, but have since started to fulfill their potential with Tom Parker as their principle points scorer.

In response to another full team roster, another set of new teams lined up to join the series between Rounds 12 and 13 with Kenney Lybeer's Globe Racing being the first of those permitted entry to the 2011 Supercup season. Next to announce their entry were GPVWC returnees Hawkeye Racing and Racing Team Schroten who are all Dutch team created by brothers Roy and Mike Schroten and both teams debuted at Round 14. The final team to join was new Swedish team Speed Eagles, but they have yet to confirm any drivers for the season.
