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.

The Junior WRC Championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-eight. All teams contested in six European events, with all of their score counting towards their final championship position, in identical Citroën DS3 R3Ts using Michelin tyres.

The championship went to Stephane Lefebvre, who secured the title in Rallye de France Alsace with one round to spare. Alastair Fisher finished second, one point behind of Lefebvre and Martin Koči finished the championship third.

Calendar

The final 2014 Junior WRC Championship calendar consisted of six European events, taken from the 2014 World Rally Championship.

Rule changes

  • Citroën Racing became the car supplier for the 2014 and 2015 seasons, providing identical Citroën DS3 R3T that fell under the Group R3 regulations. They replaced M-Sport, who prepared identical Ford Fiesta R2 cars for the previous season and the WRC Academy in 2011 and 2012.
  • Michelin replaced Hankook as the tyre supplier for the series.
  • All competitors registered in the Manufacturers', WRC2, WRC3 and the Junior WRC championships were obliged to use a colour-coded windscreen sticker to distinguish its category.
  • All competitors registered for the Junior WRC were also registered for scoring points in WRC3.
  • Competitors no longer scored points per Stage Win. Only the final result of each rally counted toward the championship.
