The Dallara GP2/11 is a racing car developed by Italian manufacturer Dallara for use in the GP2 Series, a feeder series for Formula One. The GP2/11 is the third generation of car used by the GP2 Series, and was introduced at the Yas Marina round of the 2011 season,[2] replacing the Dallara GP2/08, which was also developed by Dallara. The GP2/11 was scheduled to be used until the end of the 2013 season, in keeping with the series' philosophy of upgrading its chassis every three years, but series organisers decided to keep it in competition for another three-year cycle in a bid to cut costs in the category and to be used until the end of the 2016 season until the next-generation car introduced in 2017 season.[3] As the GP2 Series is a spec series, the GP2/11 is raced by every team and driver on the grid.
