Race calendar and results
The 2011 ToCA calendar was announced on 8 September 2010.[14] Renault have subsequently announced that the Clio Cup will support the BTCC at eight meetings.[2] Two non-championship races were held at the World Series by Renault meeting at Silverstone in conjunction with the Dutch Clio Cup.[15] Luke Wright won both races for the Scuderia Vittoria team,[16] but he was the only full-time competitor from the British series to take part.
