The 2011 Kumho V8 Touring Car Series was an Australian motor racing series for V8 Touring Cars, which are de-registered and superseded former V8 Supercars. Although the series utilised cars built for V8 Supercar racing, it was not an official V8 Supercar series.
Terry Wyhoon, driving a Ford Falcon, won the series[1] by 72 points, having won ten of the fifteen races and two of the five rounds. Scott Loadsman finished second, 117 points ahead of Chris Smerdon who led the series after four rounds but was disqualified from Sandown for eligibility problems. Justin Garioch finished fourth despite missing a round, 31 points behind Smerdon and 13 points ahead of Jim Pollicina in fifth.
