The 2014 Masters Series is the sixth season of the Masters Series at the GPVWC. Unfortunately, following the first three rounds of the five event calender, the series was simply unable to be completed leaving David Jundt as champion.

Series Changes

After just one season of trialing rFactor 2, the Masters series returned to the original rFactor platform. The biggest change however was the switch to an endurance season using different vehicles at every event. This was in stark contrast to what has been seen previously; a standard touring car season with everyone using the same vehicle for all rounds. Furthermore, no Teams' championship would be contested; the focus of the series moved purely to who was the 'Master' of all the vehicles.
