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 to the Superleague.

Rule changes

Technical

  • 2014 saw 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 is fully recharged every lap.
