2011 FIA GT1 World Championship

The ten event season included an inaugural race at the Ordos International Circuit in China.

A ten-event calendar was announced at the FIA World Motor Sport Council meeting on 10 December 2010.

The Autódromo Internacional de Curitiba was originally planned as a Brazilian round for the championship, but was cancelled mid-season.

All of the Maserati teams decided to sit out for the last approved season, leaving the championship with five active manufacturers.

This included Matech Competition, who was moving to concentrate on development of the Ford GT for other racing series.

[12] JR Motorsports, a partner of Sumo Power, took over the second Nissan squad,[13] while Marc VDS sister team Belgian Racing shared representation of Ford.

Entries were required to complete 75% of the winning car's race distance in order to be classified and earn points.

Individual drivers were required to participate for a minimum of 25 minutes in order to earn championship points in any race.
