The GP4 GP2 2013 Offline Championship was the sixth official season of the GP2 Offline Championship. It was contested on Grand Prix 4 using the GP2 2011 mod. The series has been hosted by Jyri Määttä a.k.a jyrr123. Robert Hunter clinched the drivers' championship at Indianapolis, where he finished 4th. Trident Racing won the teams' championship at Interlagos.
The season had eight rookies (Jones, Zorbach, Roberto Gamba, Julius Anderson, Turwik, Krebs, Radivojević and Wong).
This was the first GP2 season where the last season champion (Cameron Anderson) defended the championship.
After a season away from GP2, Bruno de Barros returned to the series to drive for the team where he debuted, in 2009. Before the first race, Bruno announced that it was his farewell season.
Mid-season changes
After a deal between the two, Xavi Perez and Bruno de Barros swapped seats for one race only. While Bruno competed in the DTM OC Montréal round, Xavi competed in the GP2 OC Austrian round.
Rapax had a different lineup for Brazil as Paolino Tomaselli and Snezana Radivojević opted to miss the last race to focus on 2014. Their replacements were Red Bull reserve driver and 2013 DTM driver, Jamie Griffiths and British rookie Isaac Fasure.
Round 11 was originally scheduled to be the European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch, however due to issues with the track, the round was changed to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at the Yas Marina Circuit.
