2013 F1600 Championship season
Previous: 2012 Next: 2014

The 2013 F1600 Championship Series season was the third season of the F1600 Championship Series.

18 year old Jake Eidson from Littleton, Colorado won the championship driving for Cape Motorsports w/ Wayne Taylor Racing. Eidson won seven of the twelve races and captured a race win in all but one of the series' weekend double-headers. Bryan Herta Autosport's Adrian Starrantino captured three wins on his way to runner-up honors in the championship.[1]

Notably, IndyCar Series rookie Tristan Vautier joined the series for its race weekend at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course to gain experience at the track that he had not raced at before and where he would race in IndyCar a few weeks later.[2] Vautier won the pole for race two, but finished just sixth and 13th in the pair of races.
