2011 Auto GP Series
The 2011 Auto GP season will be the second year of the Auto GP, and the thirteenth season of the former Euroseries 3000. The championship is due to begin on 14 May at Monza and is due to finish on 4 September at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, after seven double-header rounds.
The series will be part of the World Touring Car Championship meetings and will receive Eurosport coverage.[1] The series will also adopt the Formula One points system for the first race of the weekend, with a consequent change in the lower points-awarding second race.[2]
