The 2014 FIA WRC3 Championship was the second season of WRC3, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile, running in support of the World Rally Championship. It was created when the Group R class of rally car was introduced in 2013.[1] Sébastien Chardonnet started as the defending champion.[2] However, he did not defend his title as he competed in the WRC2 championship instead.[3] The championship was won by Stéphane Lefebvre.[4] Alastair Fisher finished the championship second with Martin Koči third.[5]
Calendar
Unlike its predecessor the Production Car World Rally Championship, WRC3 did not have a fixed calendar. Instead, teams and drivers competing in the series were free to contest any of thirteen rallies that formed the 2014 World Rally Championship. They had to nominate up to six events to score points in, and their best five results from these six events counted towards their final championship points score. The World Rally Championship was open to two-wheel drive cars complying with R1, R2 and R3 regulations.[6] {{#section-h:2014 World Rally Championship|Calendar}}
