[1] The title was won by Tom Dillmann who took two race victories across the season such as championship runner-up Louis Delétraz, with the latter becoming the best rookie of the year.
Despite winning the most races of the season with five, Egor Orudzhev finished third in the standings due to inconsistent results in the form of several retirements.
Matthieu Vaxivière, Aurélien Panis, Matevos Isaakyan and Johnny Cecotto Jr. were the other drivers to achieve at least one win throughout the year.
Rounds previously held at Monaco, Nürburgring and Le Mans Bugatti were removed from the schedule.
On 8 March 2016, it was announced that due to operational reasons, the final two rounds of the season would switch dates.
