The 2011 V8 Supercar season was the fifteenth season of
V8 Supercar motor racing and the fifteenth season in which V8 Supercars have contested the premier Australian
touring car series. It was the 52nd year of touring car racing in
Australia beginning with the 1960 season, which included the first
Australian Touring Car Championship, now known as the International V8 Supercars Championship,[1] and the first Armstrong 500, the fore-runner of the present day
Bathurst 1000.
The 2011 season began on 11 February at the
Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi and ended on 4 December at the
Homebush Street Circuit. It featured the fifteenth V8 Supercar Championship, consisting of 26 races at 14 events covering all six states and the
Northern Territory of Australia as well as events in the
United Arab Emirates and
New Zealand. There was also a stand-alone non-championship event supporting the
2011 Australian Grand Prix. The season also featured the twelfth second-tier
V8 Supercar Development Series, this year officially known as the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series and expanded to a seven-round series. The fourth third-tier series, the Kumho V8 Touring Car Series was contested over a five-round series.
