The 2012 Supercup Spotters guide

The GPVWC Supercup will see some significant changes with a maximum number of teams being set to 15 to allow for the population of the Formula Challenge. A level of basic team management will be introduced to allow Supercup teams to get a taster of what life in the Superleague is and to work as a stepping stone for teams aiming to compete in the GPVWC's premium Championship.
