At the start of 2011 he entered the Superstars Series in a BMW M3 for the Spanish team Campos Racing. He would only contest the first three rounds of the season however. Later in the year he returned to the Porsche Supercup.

He returned to the championship in 2011, beginning with a single race for MRS Team PZ Aschaffenburg at Monaco, however he was disqualified from the results. He reappeared at the Hungaroring with SANITEC Aquiles MRS Team and did two further races at Spa-Francorchamps and Abu Dhabi for Attempto Racing.
