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 and were noticably absent in Magny Cours sparking speculation over their future in the competition.
