Rule changes[]

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]
Michelin will replace Hankook as the tire supplier for the series.^[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]
