FIA World Rally Championship FIA WRC2 Championship FIA WRC3 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.
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. Hankook supplied tyres for all competitors.
Pontus Tidemand secured the drivers' championship after winning at the Rallye de France-Alsace.
