Starting from this season, drivers and teams compete in two classes, Class A for drivers and teams competing with the 2013 FR2.0 car, and Class B for drivers and teams using the FR2.0 old spec cars.[2] The season began on 20 March at the Zhuhai International Circuit and ended on 11 October at the Shanghai International Circuit after six double-header events. Three of them were based at Zhuhai, where AFR joined Pan Delta Racing Festival, two of them took place at Shanghai, with the other round being held at Sepang in Malaysia.
