The Junior World Rally Championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-eight. All teams contested in six European events,[2] with all of their score counting towards their final championship position, in identical Citroën DS3 R3Ts using Michelin tyres.[3][4]
The championship went to Stephane Lefebvre, who secured the title in Rallye de France Alsace with one round to spare.[5] finished second, one point behind of Lefebvre and Martin Koči finished the championship third.[6]
Citroën Racing will become the car supplier for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, providing identical Citroën DS3 R3T that falls under the Group R3 regulations. They replace M-Sport, who prepared identical Ford Fiesta R2 cars for the series—previously known as the WRC Academy—since its inception in 2011.[3][4]
All competitors registered in the Championships–WRC, WRC-2, WRC-3 and the Junior WRC—will be obliged to use a colour-coded windscreen sticker to distinguish its category.[15]
All competitors registered for the Junior WRC will be registered for scoring points in the World Rally Championship-3.[16]
Competitors will no longer score points per Stage Win. Only the final result of each rally counts toward the championship.[2]
^Due to technical irregularities, the seven Junior WRC finishers were excluded from the rally results. However, the drivers were allowed to keep their results within the Junior WRC class.[17]
^"News in brief: Kubica / Poland / Citroen". WRC.com. WRC Promoter GmbH. 24 October 2014. Retrieved 15 November 2014. Lefebvre and the other Junior WRC finishers were excluded from all rally results except the Junior WRC classifications, and therefore retain their points.
