Roy Schroten's debut in the supercup was on Jul 13, 2011 at the 2011 SC Turkey GP. Roy drove that race for Triple-Double Racing. Then he founded Racing Team Schroten with his brother. At the 2011 SC Canadian GP he drove his first race for Racing Team Schroten. At the Turkey's GP he finnished at a good 14th position. At the Mexican GP he couldn't drive. But on the Canadian GP he was back in action.He qualified at the 17th position and after a very good start he was 10th. At the finnish he was 9th and scored his first points. That were also the first points for Racing Team Schroten. At the Brasilian GP there was a dissapointed result (14th). At Monza Roy had a very disapointing race. he had a good start and after a good fight with some others Roy drove 8th but he crashed out of the race. For the Spain GP Racing Team Schroten had developed a whole new chassis. Roy had one of his great starts, and went up to yhe 7th place (+ 10). Everything went well untill Roy had contact with the car of Tom Parker and spun. He finnished as 11th, just out of the points. At Spa Roy again had one of this great starts and went up to 10th position. But after a fault where he went slow out of the corner, Tom and Roy again had a accident and they both crashed. Roy managed to finnish the race in a broken car at the 14th and last position. At Zandvoort Roy really wanted to give anything he had. Zandvoort is his home track. And Roy drove great! Roy qualified as 13th, After one of his great starts Roy went to the 7th postition. He finnished as 7th as well, just 0.1 sec behind Wopke Hoekstra. He wasn't the best Dutch guy, but was very happy with his best result ever. Also he didn't made a mistake at the race. And then it was already time for the last race of the season. At the 2011 Supercup Singapore Grand Prix Roy couldn't get a good result. Roy dualified as 12th, his best qualify ever. At the start he went from 12th to 6th! But then it went all wrong. He crashed, but could rejoin the race. But the car was to damaged to drive and after 10 laps his race was over. At the end of the season Roy scored 6 points and in the standing Roy ended up as 28th.

2012

Roy driving in the 2012 SuperCup Synergetic car.

Roy Schroten is active in the 2012 Supercup season for Synergetic Motorsports, afterhis team wasn't able to enter his team [racing team schroten]]. At the first race, he qualified as 13th. But because of the server problems, he had to start as 25th. At the start, Roy had a great start and drove as 14th when Martin Bulgin spun his car in front of him, causing a missive pile up. Roy even flew upside-down, but he could continue the race, after a long sit stop. While the race was going, the game minimized, he lost his wings and had to do another un-planned stop. He finished the race as 14th. At the Chinese GP he wanted to prove what he could for his team. He qualified as 8th, and at the start he has one of his well-known starts, moving up to 2nd place. At the hairpinn after the long back strait he managed to outbrake Fidock, moving up to firts place. That were is firts laps as a leader in his GPVWC career. After five laps Peter Kaasa was able to overtake him, shortly followed by Mark Cullen. Roy unfortunately got braking problems, and with a wrong strategy he was only able to finish 8th. But he was able to keep the car going after a to small radiator size. He scored his first points of the season and was happy with the result. At Abu Dhabi Roy qualified as 13th, but after the start het drove 8th. But the good start fade away when he spun. He continued as 13th, but he was able to overtake some drivers and after 10 laps he drove 8th. Then at the pit stops the was a big chaos. Mal McKee and Roy were using the same box and with Mal pitting Roy had to wait. No tyres were ready so Roy had to drive the whole race on the same mediums. He was able to keep them alive and finished 10th. At the Hungaroring Roy had a grid penalty and had to start as 18th. He once again had an alien start and moved to 8th. After 5 laps Adam Rouse was able to catch up on Roy had Roy took no risks of losing points, so he let him by. Then a little spin closed the gap between him and Terence Grech to 4 seconds. Roy decided to do a late pit stop to change to Super Softs, and after the stops he had a 6 Seconds gap. But Terence was to fast and catched up on Roy. Roy decided that he really wanted points so he took no big risks defending Terence. Terence overtook him on the inside of T1, something even Roy didn't expect. Roy then drove with no risks to the end and finished 10th, taking another point.
