The 2016 Vintage Series season is the inaugural season of its kind at the GPVWC.

Premise

At the 2015 GPVWC Day, it was announced a new series titled would run in 2016. It would be run using rFactor as an aside to the league's excursions on rFactor 2 and would feature retro Formula 1 cars.

It was announced in February 2016 that Stormcharge would be the sponsor of all Vintage Series events in the 2016 season, as a continuation of their partnership with the GPVWC.

Teams and drivers

It was announced that no official teams would enter the 2016 championship. Instead, the drivers would be assigned to the cars that competed in the 1991 Formula 1 World Championship. However, the cars would all be equalised in performance.
