2013 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series

The 2013 Formula Renault 2.0 Alps Series was the third year of the Formula Renault 2.0 Alps series, and the twelfth season of the former Swiss Formula Renault Championship. The championship began on 6 April at Vallelunga and finished on 6 October at Imola after fourteen races held at seven meetings.

Debutant Antonio Fuoco dominated the championship from the first round, clinching both the junior and overall championship titles with a race to spare.[1] Prema Powerteam drivers Luca Ghiotto and Bruno Bonifacio completed the top three in the drivers' standings, with the trio winning all fourteen races between them; Fuoco won six races, Ghiotto five and Bonifacio three. Ghiotto and Bonifacio also accrued enough points to win the teams title for Prema, with Fuoco's sister Prema Junior outfit finishing second.
