The 2013 FIA WRC3 Championship was the first 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]
Unlike its predecessor, the Production Car World Rally Championship, the WRC3 Championship does not have a fixed calendar. Instead, teams and drivers competing in the series are free to contest any of thirteen rallies that form the 2013 World Rally Championship. They must nominate up to six events to score points in, and their best five results from these six events will count towards their final championship points score. The World Rally Championship is open to two-wheel drive cars complying with R1, R2 and R3 regulations.[2]
Also in WRC3, the Citroën Top Driver was established. Within the WRC3, the drivers race in identical Citroën DS3 R3T cars, with the winner receiving the opportunity to race in the Citroën DS3 R5, in the 2014 season.[3]
Sébastien Chardonnet clinched the Drivers' Championship at the Rallye de France-Alsace.[4]
