Brazilian driver Felipe Nasr dominated the series, winning seven races and recording 16 top three finishes over the first eight rounds of the series, putting him 123 points ahead of Nasr's Carlin Motorsport teammate, Danish driver Kevin Magnussen, giving him an unassailable lead in the championship with two rounds still in hand.[1]
A number of changes were announced for the season, with pit-stops set to be introduced in the third race of each round,[2] but this plan was later abandoned in July 2011.[3] The championship's class system – Championship and National – was also renamed to the International and Rookie Championships. The Rookie winner will receive a fully paid entry to the 2012 International Championship.[2]
After three seasons with his family-run CF Racing outfit, Hywel Lloyd will move to Sino Vision Racing to partner Adderly Fong.

Pietro Fantin moved into the series from Formula Three Sudamericana. He will compete for Hitech Racing, the team he raced for in three meetings in 2010 when he was competing in the Invitation Class. He was joined by Formula Renault UK race-winner Riki Christodoulou, who returned to the championship after a season's absence, and Bruno Méndez, who competed in Formula Renault 3.5 in 2010.
A provisional ten-round calendar was announced on 16 October 2010,[5] before this was altered again on 26 November 2010.[6] The Nürburgring meeting was moved from September to July on 4 February 2011.[7] The first and third races at the Spa-Francorchamps round were also points-scoring for the FIA Formula 3 International Trophy.
