The 2011 International V8 Supercar Championship (often simplified to the 2011 V8 Supercars Championship) was an FIA sanctioned international motor racing series for V8 Supercars. It was the thirteenth V8 Supercar Championship Series and the fifteenth series in which V8 Supercars contested the premier Australian touring car title. It was the first since the series was elevated to the 'International category' status by the FIA. The championship began on 10 February in the Middle East at Abu Dhabi's Yas Marina Circuit and finished on 4 December at the Homebush Street Circuit. It was contested over 28 races at 14 events. These events were held in all states of Australia and in the Northern Territory as well as in the United Arab Emirates, and New Zealand. The 52nd Australian Touring Car Championship title was awarded to Jamie Whincup by the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport.

Triple Eight Race Engineering Holden driver Jamie Whincup won the championship by 35 points over his teammate Craig Lowndes. The best placed Ford driver was Ford Performance Racing's Mark Winterbottom, 458 points behind Whincup. Stone Brothers Racing driver Shane van Gisbergen finished in fourth, 38 points behind Winterbottom, with the Holden Racing Team's Garth Tander a further 98 points back in fifth.

Whincup won ten races during the course of the season, one shared with French driver Sébastien Bourdais at the Gold Coast. He finished on the podium in nine of the first eleven races, setting up a strong points lead. His teammate Lowndes chipped away at the lead, winning four races in a row in the middle of the season, one with Mark Skaife at Phillip Island, and briefly led the championship after the Bathurst 1000. Lowndes won his fifth race at the title decider in Sydney but this was not enough to take the crown away from Whincup. The other thirteen race wins were shared between eight other drivers. Reigning champion James Courtney won the second race of the year in Abu Dhabi while his teammate Tander won three races, including one race at the Clipsal 500 and the Bathurst 1000 with Nick Percat. Rick Kelly also won three races, taking his first race win since 2008 and the first for Kelly Racing at the Hamilton 400. Van Gisbergen won the first race of his career at the Hamilton 400 before scoring his second at Hidden Valley. Brad Jones Racing were another team to win their first championship race, with Jason Bright taking his first win since 2006 at Barbagallo and backing it up with another win at Winton. Winterbottom took his first win in just under a year at the Gold Coast, winning the Sunday race with British driver Richard Lyons, before winning the final race of the season in Sydney.

Team changes

Tekno Autosports and driver Jonathon Webb ended their association with Dick Johnson Racing to run the team separately with support from Triple Eight Race Engineering.

Walkinshaw Racing downsized to a single-car team, with the #10 Racing Entitlement Contract initially placed for sale. It was subsequently purchased by the category's organising body V8 Supercars Australia to achieve their long-held ambition to reduce the grid to twenty-eight cars.

After a long-running dispute over the ownership of Dick Johnson Racing, co-owner Charlie Schwerkolt sold his stake in the team and departed with the No. 18 Racing Entitlement Contract. The REC was later leased back to DJR to continue running two cars.

Tony D'Alberto Racing switched from Holden to Ford for the 2011 season. D'Alberto ran a Holden Commodore at the season-opening Abu Dhabi race before switching to Ford ahead of the Adelaide 500.

Driver changes

James Courtney bought the #1 plate to the Holden Racing Team to replace the outgoing Will Davison.

Davison joined Ford Performance Racing in a manufacturer switch, replacing Steven Richards, who retired from full-time driving.

James Moffat then joined Dick Johnson Racing, replacing Courtney. It was the first time in 22 years that the Moffat name had been on the grid.

2010 Walkinshaw Racing endurance co-driver David Reynolds joined Kelly Racing in the #16 Commodore, replacing Tony Ricciardello. Greg Murphy also joined Kelly Racing, to replace the departing Jason Bargwanna.

Bargwanna joined Brad Jones Racing as a substitute for Jason Richards, who was undergoing treatment for adrenocortical carcinoma during the season. Richards later passed away in December.

Reigning Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series champion Steve Owen was confirmed as Murphy's replacement at Paul Morris Motorsport.

Mid-season changes

Tony D'Alberto was forced to sit out the Phillip Island 500 after being diagnosed with chicken pox. Taz Douglas replaced him for the event.

Jason Bright was injured and unable to take part in Race 24 at Symmons Plains. Cameron McConville replaced him for the race. Bright later withdrew from the next race at Sandown, where he was replaced by his endurance co-driver Andrew Jones.

Wildcard entries

Only two endurance race wild cards were approved for 2011. Fujitsu Series team Miles Racing applied to run Ashley Walsh and Chaz Mostert but the team later elected not to utilise it. Kelly Racing entered a fifth car for the winner of the Shannons Supercar Showdown, who would co-drive with the show's narrator and experienced driver Grant Denyer. At the show's conclusion a week prior to the Bathurst 1000, leading Formula Ford driver Cam Waters was announced as the winner.

Race calendar

The following circuits hosted a round of the 2011 championship. The event at Barbagallo Raceway was reinstated with the Western Australian Government providing $5 million to redevelop the circuit. The Desert 400 was scrapped with V8 Supercars stating that the decision not to hold the event was because the circuit's international racing calendar was too full for an early season date.

Season summary

Jamie Whincup won the opening race of the championship at the Yas V8 400, at the time it was his twelfth consecutive victory in races held outside of Australia, taking in wins in New Zealand, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain going back to the 2008 Gulf Air Desert 400. Whincup won by 14 seconds over the close pair of Alex Davison and Mark Winterbottom who in turn lead another pair of Fords in Shane van Gisbergen and Tim Slade. The second race was considerably more chaotic with a multi-car pile up in the opening laps ruling out amongst others Holden Racing Team's Garth Tander. Tander's new team-mate 2010 champion James Courtney, provided HRT with an opposing result, winning a late race battle with Jason Bright to take the second race win and to gain some points back after receiving the 50 point penalty the day before. Whincup was third ahead of David Reynolds completing an impressive return to the series after sitting out 2010.

Garth Tander won a shortened first race of the Clipsal 500. The race hinged on two safety car periods late in the race caused by incidents involving Russell Ingall and James Moffat. Tander lead Triple Eight Race Engineering team-mates Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes across the line at the head of a bunched queue. Jason Bright and Fabian Coulthard saw Holden fill the top five places ahead of Mark Winterbottom. The biggest of the incidents in the race saw Steve Owen crash at turn 8 with sufficient force that car would not be repaired in time for the non-championship Albert Park 400 a week later. Whincup became the first repeat winner for the year by winning the Sunday race by 1.3 seconds over Rick Kelly. The second place for Kelly was the best result since the formation of Kelly Racing in 2009. Ford Performance Racing and Holden Racing Team filled the next few positions with Mark Winterbottom taking third over James Courtney, Garth Tander, Paul Dumbrell and Will Davison. Whincup had diced entertainingly with Will Davison early in the wet conditions, while Turn 8 claimed more cars with Lee Holdsworth and Warren Luff both crashing out, while Bright crashed heavily at the Senna Chicane.

Championship standings

Points system

Points are awarded to the driver or drivers of a car that completes 75% of the race distance and is running at the completion of the final lap. The different points scales adapt to each event, having one, two or three races, making sure that a driver gets 300 points if they win all races of the event.

Notes:

Std. denotes all races except the Perth Challenge, Ipswich 300, Phillip Island 500, and the Bathurst 1000. These four events have unique rules.

Perth Challenge: This event consisted of three races. The total points were divided between each race evenly.

Ipswich 300: This event consisted of three races. Due to their short length, Races 16 and 17 only awarded half the points of a usual race. Race 18 used the standard points system.

Phillip Island 500: The Phillip Island event was split into two qualifying races and a 500-kilometre feature race. The two drivers per team were grouped into separate qualifying races that counted towards drivers' individual point totals and towards the starting grid for the feature race. The two drivers then shared one car for the 500-kilometre endurance race.

Bathurst 1000: Two drivers shared one car for the race.
