The GPVWC is delighted to announce the launch of a special event to commemorate the 2011 Season. A new event, held in partnership with Grand Prix Online (GPO) will be held on November 30th and December 7th and has been baptised the Race of Champions as it will feature the best talent in both leagues competing for the coveted title of Champion of Champions.

The invitational competition will include 32 drivers - 16 from the GPVWC and 16 from the GPO - organised in pairs. GPVWC will submit the top 8 drivers in the Superleague and the top 8 drivers in the Supercup, and the same will apply to GPO with their World Championship and Sprint Trophy series. To promote co-operation between the two organisations, the pairings will be formed by one driver for each of the leagues; in addition, to guarantee a fair and balanced competition, the pairs will be organised in inverted ranking orders, as follows:

 
  • 1st Superleague / 8th Sprint Trophy  
  • 2nd Superleague / 7th Sprint Trophy  
  • 3rd Superleague / 6th Sprint Trophy  
  • ....  
  • 7th Supercup / 2nd World Championship  
  • 8th Supercup / 1st World Championship

    The teams will be organised in a knock-out format, with the qualifiers taking place on November 30th and the final rounds on December 7th. All the competition will be broadcast live. The drivers that will be invited to take part in this event will be as follows. In case of a driver being eligible for both series, the highest placement will be considered; likewise, any driver declining the invitation will be replaced by the next eligible driver.
     
  • Joe Consiglio - 1st Superleague  
  • Lee Morris - 2nd Superleague  
  • David Jundt - 3rd Superleague (4th Supercup)  
  • Dave Carr-Smith - 4th Superleague  
  • Jason Muscat - 5th Superleague (5th Supercup)  
  • Ojay Clark - 7th Superleague  
  • Mark Wicks - 8th Superleague  
  • Nick Rowland - 9th Superleague  
  • Bart de Vos - 1st Supercup  
  • Pavel Loknovski - 2nd Supercup (6th Superleague)  
  • Lewis Redshaw - 3rd Supercup  
  • Gregg Lawson - 6th Supercup  
  • Tom Parker - 7th Supercup  
  • Georgios Davakos - 8th Supercup  
  • Ryan Walker - 9th Supercup  
  • Liam Hatchell - 10th Supercup

    The teams will also include last-minute reserves ready to step in should one of the drivers pull out at the last minute. The suggested reserves are:
     
  • Sam Millar (12th Superleague)  
  • Mark Stanton (13th Superleague)  
  • Chris Williamson (11th Supercup)  
  • Ben Warren (12th Supercup)
