The drivers' championship was won by Danny van Dongen, after he won seven races during the season. He had trailed Eoin Murray by five points after four meetings, but Murray did not contest the final two meetings. This resulted in van Dongen winning the championship by 122 points. Murray, with five wins, still amassed enough points to finish as the championship runner-up, while Alx Danielsson finished third in the series, eight points in arrears of Murray. Danielsson was a two-time race winner at Portimão, while three other drivers took race victories during the season; Jacky van der Ende won twice at the Nürburgring, Daniël de Jong was a race winner at Assen, while Davit Kajaia took a race victory at the Slovakia Ring. The nations' championship was won by the Netherlands, finishing 32.63 points clear of Sweden.
On 22 December 2014, it was announced that the FA1 series would be merged with Auto GP in 2015, to ensure that at least 18 cars participate in each race. The fate of the supporting Acceleration series was not specified.[2]
The 2014 calendar consisted of six race weekends. Originally, ten were planned. However, Acceleration in Zolder, Acceleration at Paul Ricard, and Acceleration at Grobnik were cancelled on 27 June 2014[3] and Acceleration at Hungaroring was cancelled on 20 August 2014.[4]
Points were awarded to the top 10 classified finishers in all three races. The pole-sitter for race 1 and 2 received one point, and one point was also given to the driver who set the fastest lap in each race. At the end of the season, the MW-V6 Drivers' title was awarded to the driver with the highest number of points.

There was also a Nations' championship, which grouped the represented nations by totalling the average of the points scored by the drivers of the same nationality (e.g.: with 5 Dutch drivers competing in a race, the Netherlands scored in that race the addition of the points scored by each driver divided by 5).
