The Superleague Formula was a racing series that originally consisted of successful football clubs holding races with their own formula racing cars . The cars were painted in the jersey look of the respective club. The first race took place in Donington (England) at the end of August 2008 and the last race in July 2011 in Zolder ( Belgium ).
In 2011, the original idea was abandoned as more than half of the teams were not directly connected to a football club. In the end, 7 of the 9 races planned for December 2010 were canceled and the season ended prematurely after the second race in July 2011 in Zolder ( Belgium ). The series was not restarted afterwards.

Technical regulations
The Superleague will be driven with a standard car and standard tires. The chassis developed by Élan Motorsport Technologies and known as Panoz DP09 weigh about 750 kg and are equipped with a Hewland six-speed gearbox. The Panoz is powered by a V12 engine with a displacement of 4.2 l. The engine was developed by Menard Competition Technologies in Great Britain. This develops around 550 kW and 510 Nm. The tires are from Michelin .
Since the second run in 2008 at the Nürburgring, the vehicles also have a push-to-pass button (PTP). This allows the maximum speed to be increased from 11,000 / min to 12,000 / min for at least 15 seconds. However, if the speed falls below 9000 rpm after the 15 seconds, the PTP phase ends. This system may only be used eight times for a total of 120 seconds during the two races.
