The Dallara GP2/11 was 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 overall third generation of car used by the GP2 Series and first generation of car used by the FIA Formula 2 Championship, 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. The GP2/11 was scheduled to be used until the end of the 2016 season before a next-generation car was introduced in 2017,[3] but this was delayed again until 2018.[4] As the GP2 Series and Formula 2 Championship are spec series, the GP2/11 was raced by every team and driver on the grid.
As of 2024, Dallara GP2/11 remains the longest-serving GP2 Series later FIA Formula 2 Championship chassis usage since 2011 to 2017 seasons.
