The 2009 Superleague season was the 10th GPVWC Superleague season. 2009 was an important year in GPVWC history, for it was the first time the league had ventured into online competition. The league’s chosen platform was the fully customisable rFactor simulation.
In a successful and exciting year, Joe Consiglio and Nordsjoen Racing secured the drivers and constructors championships respectively. The season saw six different winners, Joe Consiglio, Adam Rouse, Janne Tanskanen, Luis Fernando Laaff, Dave Carr-Smith and Lee Morris, all stood on the top step of the podium over the course of the 18 round campaign.
Consiglio took six wins on his way to championship glory in 2009. His closet rival Janne Tanskanen picked up three victories but retirements and non starts put pay to any chance of the Finn taking the crown. With Consiglio securing the drivers championship at the pen-ultimate round in Zandvoort, it was the ever consistent Mark Wicks who finished the season 2nd in the drivers standings, despite not taking any wins in 2009. FSR sensation Lee Morris entered the fray late in the season and duly won all five races he attended.
Nordsjoen Racing wrapped up the constructors championship as early as the Spanish Grand Prix in Valencia. Consiglio and team-mate Rouse proved to be a formidable partnership and gave Nordsjoen their 2nd constructors title in as many years.

Pre-season
Testing
Pre season testing gave the league and it drivers a chance to become better acquainted with rFactor and online competition in general. Many drivers, including eventual champion Joe Consiglio had barely turned a wheel on the game before attending the first scheduled test in Norway. At the league’s historical first online meeting, Adam Rouse and newcomer Janne Tanskanen emerged as the early pace setters.
As winter testing progressed Dave Carr-Smith threw his name onto the list of potential contenders by posting a very quick laptime at the 2nd test in Zolder. At Sebring a week later Consiglio headed the timesheets and proved he was now fully up to speed with the new platform.
Indeed with the highly rated Maltese driver teamed up with the determined Adam Rouse, Nordsjoen Racing were pre-season favourites to take the constructors championship in 2009. The Woods Racing duo of Carr-Smith and Mark Wicks looked like they would be Nordsjoen’s closest rivals. However the Cosworth powered Evans Blue cars were also being marked as potential challengers.
