The 2014 FIA Junior WRC Championship was the second season of the Junior WRC Championship, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile in association with Citroën Racing, running in support of the World Rally Championship.[1]
The Junior WRC 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] Alastair Fisher finished second, one point behind of Lefebvre and Martin Koči finished the championship third.[6]
