| − | {{*mp}} A return of crash-happy starts and the introduction of a crash-happy rF_Scan causes headaches for drivers and admin alike at Round 5 in [[2013 Challenge Spanish Grand Prix|Spain]]. [[Emanuel Gaczella]] takes his customary pole and Race 1 victory, while [[Jeremy Allen]] mirrors his teammate's achievement at Hungary and wins Race 2 from pole. With [[Ari Nieminen]] still absent, Gaczella is marching away with the championship. | + | {{*mp}} [[Petar Brljak]] has won the [[2014 Formula Challenge season]] Drivers' Championship! After entering the competition with [[Aurora Motorsports]] in Malaysia, the Croatian has proved unbeatable on many occasion displaying frightening speed. Though his advantage has diminished with recent competition coming from the likes of [[Eric Stranne]] and a resurgent [[Jonathon Holmes]], his consistent dominance was too much and led to him taking the title with two rounds remaining. |
| − | {{*mp}} Round 4 in [[2013 Challenge Hungarian Grand Prix|Hungary]] sees 27 post-race penalties handed out after Race 1 and a further 16 after Race 2; most are time penalties relating to drivers repeatedly exceeding the confines of the track. Original Race 1 winner [[Danny Asbury]] is demoted and the win given to [[Emanuel Gaczella]]. [[Patrick Fogel]] wins Race 2 from pole. The new launch control sees a considerable improvement to the race starts, though overall attrition is still high. Gaczella suffers a relatively-scruffy round; despite inheriting the Race 1 win, he is demoted in Race 2; however, as the only top-3 driver present, Gaczella extends his lead in the championship considerably.
| + | {{*mp}} Applications for the [[2015 Formula Challenge season]] are set to open on October 23rd. |
| − | {{*mp}} In light of controversy surrounding startline accidents, the GPVWC introduces new regulations dictating the mandatory use of launch control at race starts. Further changes include the introduction of a randomised starting order for the first 15-20 cars in race two.

| − | {{*mp}} Round 3 in [[2013 Challenge Austrian Grand Prix|Austria]], and fears of a huge and embarrassing accident at the first corner are thankfully allayed, when the huge and embarrassing accident instead happens on the start line. Again. [[Oscar Hardwick]] proves the surprise package, in the inaptly-named [[BackMarker Brigade]], dominating qualifying and the first race. A disastrous second race for [[Ari Nieminen]] sees main rival, and Race 2 winner, [[Emanuel Gaczella]] shoot into the lead of the championship by 23 points. Top 3 drivers now 40 points clear of the rest of the field.

| − | <!-- old 2013 news //{{*mp}} Round 2 at [[2013 Challenge Malaysian Grand Prix|Sepang]] sees [[Ghovand Keanie]] dominate the soaking Malaysian track in a one-off appearance for [[SimInk Motorsport]], taking Pole and Race 1, though he is later demoted to 4th by the Stewards. In the challenging, changing conditions of race 2, [[Emanuel Gaczella]] emerges to win convincingly, but it is [[Ari Nieminen]], completing a clean-sweep of podiums so far this year, and inheriting the Race 1 victory, who retains his lead at the top of the driver's championship. The series is still to witness an incident-free start however.

| − | {{*mp}} The [[2013 Formula Challenge season]] gets under way at [[2013 Challenge Australian Grand Prix|Melbourne]], with a huge turn out with over 40 drivers competing. Both races are unfortunately marred by start-line accidents and a few incidents of bad driving, but both races provide highly entertaining scraps for the top positions. Pole, Fastest Laps and Race 1 go to [[Emanuel Gaczella]] while Race 2 goes to [[Wopke Hoekstra]]. It is [[Ari Nieminen]] who emerges as the early championship leader however.// -->
