2013–14 MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship

(Redirected from 2013–14 MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship season)

The 2013–2014 MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship was the second running of the MRF Challenge Formula 2000 Championship. The series consisted of 13 races, spread across 4 meetings began on 26 October 2013 at the Buddh International Circuit, supporting the 2013 Indian Grand Prix and ended on 16 February 2014.

Rupert Svendsen-Cook claimed the championship title,[1] after successfully appealing a penalty that was given to him, at the final round of the season at the Madras Motor Racing Track. Svendsen-Cook had been given a 30-second penalty for pushing Tio Ellinas off the track,[2] which had allowed Ellinas to provisionally claim the championship title.[3] This penalty was overturned in March, allowing Svendsen-Cook's advantage of two points to stand.[1]
