2013 Formula Abarth season

The 2013 Formula Abarth season was the ninth and the final season of the former Formula Azzurra, and the fourth under its guise of "Formula Abarth". The series returned to a one-championship format, dropping the European Series moniker. The season started at Vallelunga on 28 April and concluded at 20 October at Monza.[1]

Alessio Rovera won the series driving for Cram Motorsport, taking six wins and thirteen podiums. Rovera won the series by 68 points ahead of runner-up Michele Beretta driving for Euronova Racing by Fortec. Third place was taken by Simone Iaquinta, who drove for GSK, a further five points behind Beretta.
