| image-size = 200px | country/region = Europe The European Production Series was a touring car racing series which ran for a single season in 2011. Intended to be a support series to the World Touring Car Championship, the European Production Series ran over the six European rounds of the WTCC. The series did not put together a grid for 2012, and was not re-established.

Background

The European Production Series was created as a support series for the European rounds of the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC). It was launched in December 2010 by WTCC driver Jordi Gené, V-Line Org (organisers of the Spanish Endurance Cup) and Sunred team manager Ian Planas. It was approved by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) as an International Series. Planas was the president of the organising committee, with Gené and V-Line's Francesc Gutiérrez as stewards. The series supported six rounds of the 2011 WTCC season.
