Instead, teams and drivers competing in the series were free to contest any of thirteen rallies that formed the 2014 World Rally Championship. They had to nominate up to six events to score points in, and their best five results from these six events counted towards their final championship points score. The World Rally Championship was open to two-wheel drive cars complying with R1, R2 and R3 regulations.2013 FIA World Rally Championship Sporting Regulations http://www.fia.com/sites/default/files/regulation/file/2013%20WRC%20Sporting%20Regulations_17.12.2012.pdf fia.com Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile 17 December 2012 19 January 2013 Calendar Teams and drivers Constructor Entrant Team or driver Driver Co-driver Tyre Tyre supplier Class RoundsCitroën(Citroën DS3 R3T) FRA Quentin Gilbert FRA Quentin GilbertMonte-Carlo Entry List http://www.acm.mc/documents/4/LISTE%20DES%20ENGAGES%20PAR%20LISTE%20DE%20PRIORITE.pdf ACM.mc ACM.mc 20 December 2013 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20131220145957/http://www.acm.mc/documents/4/LISTE%20DES%20ENGAGES%20PAR%20LISTE%20DE%20PRIORITE.pdf 20 December 2013 BEL Renaud Jamoul Michelin R3 1 ITA Simone TempestiniJWRC entries revealed http://www.wrc.com/en/jwrc/news/2014/march/jwrc-entries/page/1131--52-52-.html WRC.com WRC.com 7 March 2014 ITA Simone Tempestini ROM Dorin Pulpea Michelin R3 4, 7–9, 11 ITA Matteo Chiarcossihttp://www.walesrallygb.com/documents/Start_List_for_Section_1_-_TC0_-_Friday_14th_November.pdf Wales Rally GB Start List 15 November 2014 Wales Rally GB International Motor Sports Ltd. https://web.archive.org/web/20141113180421/http://www.walesrallygb.com/documents/Start_List_for_Section_1_-_TC0_-_Friday_14th_November.pdf 13 November 2014 dead 13 POL Aron Domżała POL Aron Domżała POL Przemysław Zawada Michelin R3 4, 7–8 POL Szymon Gospodarczyk 11 POL Kamil Heller 13 GER ADAC Team Weser-Ems e.V.
