The '''2014 World GT Series''' was set to be the third [[World GT Series]] season. Following a highly successful 2013 season, World GT in 2014 had the aim of becoming [[GPVWC]]'s flagship rFactor 2 league. However, following news that the mod would not be ready on time and rising concerns over the 'feasibility' of an rFactor 2 based World GT season, the decision was taken to keep the series on rFactor for at least one more year. Unfortunately, following further complications, the season was placed on indefinite hold then fully cancelled with the intention of returning in 2015.

The 2014 World GT Series was set to be the third World GT Series season. Following a highly successful 2013 season, World GT in 2014 had the aim of becoming GPVWC's flagship rFactor 2 league. However, following news that the mod would not be ready on time and rising concerns over the 'feasibility' of an rFactor 2 based World GT season, the decision was taken to keep the series on rFactor for at least one more year. Unfortunately, following further complications, the season was placed on indefinite hold then fully cancelled with the intention of returning in 2015.
