2011 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0

Motor racing competition

The 2011 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season was the 21st Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 season. The season commenced on 16 April at Alcañiz and ended on 9 October in Barcelona. The season features seven double-header rounds, with each race lasting for a duration of 30 minutes. All races were part of the World Series by Renault.

Josef Kaufmann Racing's Robin Frijns who is also the last Formula BMW Europe champion won five races on his way to the championship by a 45-point margin over another former Formula BMW driver Carlos Sainz Jr., who won the opening race on Ciudad del Motor de Aragón and Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. Frijns finished in the top five in every race. The same point margin was between Sainz and his third placed teammate Daniil Kvyat, who also won two races on Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps and Nürburgring. Other wins were scored by Will Stevens, Alex Riberas, Javier Tarancón and FIA Institute Young Driver Excellence Academy drivers Timmy Hansen and Paul-Loup Chatin.

Regulation changes

Sporting

The points system for the 2011 season changed to reflect the system used by the FIA for the World championships. The top ten drivers in each race were awarded points as follows: 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 1.
The series adopted a format introduced in the 2010 Formula Renault 3.5 Series season with one qualifying and race each day.
