The 2014 Formula Challenge season was the third season of the GPVWC Formula Challenge championship. At total of twenty-one teams and ninety-one drivers contested the thirty-four races over sixteen rounds that made up the calendar for the 2014 season, which started in Australia on 25th February 2014 and ended in Brazil on 21st October.
The 2014 season would be the first in which a cap on team numbers would be introduced, resulting in a maximum twenty teams participating at any one time. Airastream Motorsport withdrew after the first four rounds and were ultimately replaced by Cosmo Autosport. Attendance remained very high; although a few teams struggled on occasion to field cars, the number of participants usually sat in the mid-to-high thirties, with thirty-two starters at Race 1 in Brazil being the very lowest number.
Petar Brljak won the 2014 championship having secured 12 race victories and 531 points in total, over a hundred more points than runner-up David Jundt. Brljak's team, Walk Racing, won the teams' championship having secured 701 points, 96 points more than runners-up Tanskanen Racing, who themselves only beat third-placed Enterprise GP by just two points.
Despite the dominance of Brljak and Walk's championship victories, the level of competition throughout the season was very high; a total of 11 drivers and 10 teams secured at least one race victory; over two-thirds of all drivers who took part scored at least one point and not one team failed to score any points.
