Previous:	2012	Next:	2014

Yvan Muller won the 2013 Drivers' Championship, his fourth series title.

Honda won the 2013 Manufacturers' Championship.

Yvan Muller secured the Drivers' Championship title in Japan, with two events remaining in the season. Honda won the Manufacturers' Championship. Chevrolet was the defending manufacturers' champion, but it did not support a team in 2013, and thus was unable to defend its title.

James Nash won the Yokohama Drivers' Trophy for independent entries and RML won the Yokohama Teams' Trophy. The Lukoil Racing Team was the defending Yokohama Teams' Trophy winner, but was unable to defend its title as Lukoil closed their own team to support manufacturer Lada Sport team in 2013.[1]

Footnotes Yvan Muller was one of twelve drivers given a grid penalty for unsporting behaviour during qualifying for the first race in Austria and started from thirteenth place.[27] Michel Nykjær started the race from pole as a result, but Muller was entitled to keep the five championship points for pole position.
