With ten victories during 2014, José María López won the Drivers' Championship by 126 points, ahead of his nearest challenger, Yvan Muller.
For its first participation to the WTCC, Citroën won the Manufacturers' Championship with the Citroën C-Elysée WTCC, with 17 wins out of 23 races (74% of victories).

The 2014 FIA World Touring Car Championship was a motor racing competition organised by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) for Super 2000 Cars.[1] It was the eleventh FIA World Touring Car Championship, and the tenth since the series was revived in 2005.

After making a race-winning début on home soil during the 2013 campaign, Argentina's José María López won the drivers' championship after performing strongest during the season.[2] Driving for the Citroën team, López won ten races during the season, significantly more than team-mates Yvan Muller – the defending series champion – and Sébastien Loeb, who was in his first season in the championship. López finished all but one race during the season, with his only retirement coming during the second race in Russia,[3] and finished the season 126 points clear of his next closest challenger, which was Muller. Muller took four victories during the season, all coming from pole position. Loeb finished a further 41 points behind Muller, taking a pair of victories, in Morocco and the only race in Slovakia.

Only one other driver won more than one race, as Robert Huff won the first races for Lada Sport in the World Touring Car Championship. Huff won the second races in Beijing and Macau; his win in the latter was his seventh at the circuit,[4] over the previous seven years. Single race winners during 2014 were Gabriele Tarquini (Japan), Tom Chilton (Beijing), Gianni Morbidelli (Hungary), Mehdi Bennani (Shanghai) and Ma Qing Hua in Russia. Morbidelli's win was his first in the series, while the victories for Bennani and Ma were the first in FIA competition for their respective countries, Morocco and China.[3][5]

Citroën dominated the manufacturers' championship, taking a total of 17 overall wins out of the 23 races. The marque finished almost 300 points clear of Honda, who finished in second position. In the TC2-only Yokohama Drivers' Trophy, Franz Engstler finished well clear of the field in his final WTCC season before moving to the TCR International Series. Engstler achieved 20 victories and a pair of second places from 23 starts, and finished 90 points clear of closest rival John Filippi, who won the second race in Japan. The other race winners were Pasquale Di Sabatino in Hungary, and ETCC regular Petr Fulín, who won the race in Slovakia. In the Yokohama Teams' Trophy for non-manufacturer teams, ROAL Motorsport, with Chilton and Tom Coronel as its drivers, finished 91 points clear of the single-car team of Zengő Motorsport and driver Norbert Michelisz. The Yokohama Performer of the Year award went to López, taking the most fastest laps of the season, with eleven.

Teams and drivers

Defending champion Yvan Muller placed second in the Drivers' Championship, winning four races.
In his rookie season in the championship, Sébastien Loeb placed third with two race victories.

For the 2014 season, the series' technical regulations were altered. Cars built to the 2014 specifications were classified as "TC1", whilst cars built prior to 2014 were classified as "TC2".[6]

Team changes

Driver changes

Regulation changes

The sporting and technical regulations were approved by the FIA, at the July 2013 meeting of the World Motor Sport Council:[43]

Sporting regulations

  • Race distances were fixed at 60 kilometres (37 miles), and all races utilised a standing start.
  • Qualifying was held in three parts, with the top five going into Q3.
  • The balance of performance—introducing various waivers and differentiated base weights of the cars to equalise the field— but compensation weights were used once again.

Technical regulations

The series introduced a raft of changes to the technical regulations for the 2014 season. The cars were still built to Super 2000 regulations, but with significant changes compared to the 2011 generation of cars. The minimum weight of the cars was reduced from 1,150 kilograms (2,540 pounds) to 1,100 kilograms (2,400 pounds), and was accompanied by an increase in the power output of the engine, which rose to 380 bhp, an increase of between 50 and 60 bhp depending on the engine being used. The size of the wheels being used increased to 18", with MacPherson strut suspension being introduced to all cars. The dimensions of the cars changed, with a maximum width of 1,950 mm (77 in), and a 100 mm (3.9 in) front splitter. Changes to the aerodynamic package allowed teams to use flat floors, and introduce single-plane rear wings that were allowed, but to be no higher than the roof of the car.

Calendar

The provisional 2014 schedule was announced on 4 November 2013. The season was once again contested over twenty-four races at twelve circuits, but saw several changes of venue. The races at Monza and the Circuito da Boavista were removed from the schedule. The Races of France and Belgium returned to the calendar, with the Circuit Paul Ricard making its series debut, and the championship returned to the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps for the first time since 2005.

On 4 January, the FIA announced that the full Grand Prix circuit at Suzuka would be utilised, for the Race of Japan. On 22 January it was announced that the opening round at the Circuit International Automobile Moulay El Hassan would be delayed by one week. On 2 June it was announced that the Race of the United States would be discontinued due to logistical issues, and would be replaced by an additional round in China.[49]

Results and standings

Races

Yvan Muller and his Citroën C-Elysée WTCC. As the most competitive car, the Citroën C-Elysée WTCC got a maximum of 60kg ballast during the whole season.

Compensation weights

The most competitive cars keep a 60 kg compensation weight. The other cars get a lower one, calculated according to their results for the three previous rounds. The less the cars get some good results, the less they get a compensation weight, from 0 kg to 60 kg. The compensation weights were introducted starting from the third round.

During the whole season, the Citroën C-Elysée was the reference car with the best races results and so was handicapped by a 60 kg compensation weight to limit its performances, as well as during the qualifications than during the races.

Yet, the Citroën C-Elysée could continue to get pole positions and wins in both qualifications order for the Races 1 and inverted grid for the Races 2.

Footnotes

  1. ^ The team was renamed Lada Sport from the Race of Beijing onwards following Lukoil's decision to terminate sponsorship with immediate effect.[22]
  2. ^ Sébastien Loeb had claimed his first career pole by setting the fastest time, ahead of team-mates José María López and Yvan Muller.[50] Loeb and López eventually lost their front row positions and their qualifying points after the automatic fuel cut-off system did not function correctly in scrutineering on their respective cars. Both drivers started the two races from the back of the grid and Muller was promoted to pole.[51]
  3. ^ Gianni Morbidelli had claimed his first career pole and the first of the season for a non-Citroën car by setting the fastest time, ahead of Yvan Muller and Sébastien Loeb.[52] Morbidelli eventually received a five place penalty for improving his time under yellow flag during Q1 but was entitled to keep the five championship points for pole position.[53]
