The 2014 Superleague season was the 15th season of the GPVWC Superleague, a simulation racing championship for Formula 1-esque cars and recognised as the highest level of the league's Career Ladder. The season started in Australia on February 27th and concluded in Brazil on October 23rd. In the seventeen Grands Prix of the season a total of fourteen teams and fifty-four drivers competed for the Drivers' and Constructors' Championships.
The 2014 calender featured several revisions from the 2013 season; the Bahrain and Chinese Grands Prix both returned whilst the German and United States Grands Prix both changed the location of their races to the Hockenheimring and Circuit of the Americas respectively. However, the Korean, Turkish and French Grands Prix were all removed from the calender meaning that overall the season was reduced to seventeen races (one down from the previous year).
CSG Racing driver David Fidock won the 2014 Drivers' Championship with 345 points, five victories, no retirements and no race result lower than 3rd. He managed this ahead of his team-mate, Lewis Redshaw, who finished with the most pole positions of the season. CSG secured their first Constructors' Championship in the United States and finished the season with 648 points, 151 points ahead of Midnight Motorsports.
Contents
Teams and drivers
The following teams and drivers competed in the 2014 season.
- 1 Harley Hamnett was banned from GPVWC and had all results from 2014 deleted following the discovery of evidence that suggested he was using illegal aids.
Team changes
- Halcyon Racing, after retiring from the 2013 Superleague season following the Belgian Grand Prix, chose not to re-apply for 2014.
- Constant Racing, after serving five years in the Superleague, also chose not to re-apply after a troubled 2013 season.
New entries
The number of team entries increased to 14 for the 2014 Superleague season with 3 spots available for new teams. All three new entries were promoted from the Supercup.
- CSG Racing returned to the Superleague after a 3 year break and were accepted after storming to the 2013 Supercup season Teams' Championship.
- Target Racing also were promoted to the Superleague after a strong campaign in the 2013 Supercup season which saw them take four wins.
- Vod:Bul Racing, though finishing mid-table in the 2013 Supercup season, proved their worth by fielding a solid line-up to every race and taking multiple podiums. The team was expected to show this same commitment in its return to the Superleague after a 5 year absence.
Mid-season changes
- Following heavy spending on drivers such as Lee Morris and Giuseppe Rainieri, Kernow Sport were left financially crippled and unable to attend the final two races of the season. However, enough money was secured to enable a 2015 entry. This came at a hefty price though as production of the Krevder line of Superleague engines ceased.
Season report
CSG won their first Constructors' Championship after taking a 2-3 in the United States. David Fidock won his first Drivers' Championship in his rookie season after a season-long battle with team-mate Lewis Redshaw. Redshaw won his first Superleague race in the opening round of Australia and managed to maintain championship momentum despite a first win for Fidock in Bahrain. However, results off the podium in China and Spain saw Fidock take a sturdy lead. Redshaw responded well with a three-win streak in Monaco, Canada and Austria though Fidock responded equally well with his own three-win streak in Britain, Germany and Hungary. This streak was the beginning of ultimately eight races though where Fidock outscored Redshaw in some capacity. This included the United States where Redshaw was unable to race and Japan where Redshaw recorded his first retirement of the season on Lap 1. It was at Suzuka where Fidock clinched the title though Redshaw did have a strong finish by securing pole and finishing ahead of his team-mate in the finale at Interlagos.
2014 Calendar
Testing
The 2014 testing schedule is as follows:
Test | Date | Venue |
---|---|---|
Preseason Test #1 | 23rd Jan 2014 | Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, Imola |
Preseason Test #2 | 30th Jan 2014 | Nürburgring, Nürburg |
Preseason Test #3 | 6th Feb 2014 | Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours |
Preseason Test #4 | 13th Feb 2014 | Istanbul Park, Istanbul |
Young Driver Test | 6th Nov 2014 | Silverstone Circuit, Northampton |
Calendar changes
- The calender was shortened to 17 races - 1 less than the previous season.
- The Korean, Turkish and French Grands Prix were all removed from the calender
- The location of the German Grand Prix changed from the Nurburgring to the Hockenheimring; the first time the German Grand Prix was to be held there since 2008.
- The location of the United States Grand Prix also changed. For the first time in Superleague history, the Circuit of the Americas would be used to host the event.
- The Bahrain and Chinese Grands Prix made their return to Superleague calender after a 2 and 1 year absence respectively.
Rule changes
Technical
- 2014 was due to see the introduction of the Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS). KERS would allow drivers a new level of strategy when lapping providing limited additional accelerative power at the driver's discretion. The KERS battery would be fully recharged every lap. However, due to various issues with the plugin used, the KERS system was scrapped before the first round in Australia.
- A brand new engine limit will be imposed; eight being the maximum amount of engines one car can use. If a ninth engine or more were to be used, then a penalty would be handed to the driver using the car. As a consequence of this rule change, reliability will become a new option for engine manufacturers to upgrade.
- R&D will see a massive overhaul seeing the progression system change from a 10-step model to a 1-100% model.
Sporting
- Official Free Practice sessions will now be limited to Race Drivers only with no R&D points to be gained during the session. Instead, R&D points and eRD points can be earned on a separate server to be used exclusively by Test Drivers in their own 30 minute session during the race evening.
- In-season testing has been removed from the Superleague schedule.
- Pre-season testing will now enforce a cap on mileage and the freedom of personal team testing programmes during pre-season testing.
- All costs and gains - of R&D points and for fuel - will be based now on mileage, not laps.
- All teams have the option of buying 2013-spec engines for a reduced price to 2014-spec. The advantage of these engines will be better initial reliability. However, the main disadvantage to the 2013-spec engines will be that they will not get upgraded like the 2014-specs.
- An expansion of the personnel system will see the ability to add different ranges of staff to different areas. The ability to 'max out' staff has been prohibited however to prevent a major gap between teams in terms of creativity of personnel.
- 'Hospitality' will be a new area to the Managerial system. Teams will be able to host up to three big events and four medium or small hospitality events (in addition to the standard marketing operations) to attract new sponsors: these will result in the gain of Marketing Points to be used in the 2015 sponsorship negotiations.
