Former Formula One driver Robert Kubica—seen here at the Rally of Finland—won the WRC-2 title, driving a Citroën DS3 RRC.

The 2013 FIA WRC2 Championship was the first season of WRC2, a rallying championship organised and governed by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile 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 Super 2000 World Rally Championship, WRC2 does not have a calendar of mandatory events. 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 seven events to score points in, and their best six results from these seven events will count towards their final championship points score. The championship was open to cars complying with R4, R5, Super 2000 and Group N regulations. [2]

At the penultimate round of the season in Spain, [3] Robert Kubica won the championship title by 25 points from Seashore Qatar Rally Team's Abdulaziz Al-Kuwari. Yuriy Protasov finished third in the championship. In the teams' championship, Seashore Qatar Rally Team won the championship with a lead of 47 points over Yazeed Racing. Peruvian Nicolás Fuchs has amassed enough points to win the Production Car Cup, having finished as best privateer at six of the seven events he has completed. [4]
