2013 Junior WRC Championship

The 2013 FIA Junior WRC Championship was the first season of the Junior WRC Championship, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile in association with M-Sport, running in support of the World Rally Championship. It replaced WRC Academy as the Junior category championship at world level.[1]

The Junior WRC Championship was open to drivers under the age of twenty-six. All teams contested the same six events – with their best five results counting towards their final championship position – in identical Ford Fiesta R2 cars, prepared by M-Sport.[2] Hankook supplied tyres for all competitors.

Pontus Tidemand secured the drivers' championship after winning at the Rallye de France-Alsace.[3]
