2019 Formula Nordic

The 2019 Formula Nordic season was the seventh season of the single-seater championship, and the first without the STCC branding following the series' promoter's bankruptcy.[1] Instead, the series formed its own association, relaunching under the Formula Nordic brand but continuing to use the previous Formula Renault 1.6 chassis and engines, as it used to go under the name of Formula Renault 1.6 Nordic before Renault Sport dropped its support for the 3.5 and 1.6 classes in late 2015. The season began on 3 May at Ring Knutstorp and concluded on 5 October at Mantorp Park after eight rounds, Edward Sander Woldseth took the main (NEZ) title, with Viktor Andersson winning the junior (JSM) crown.[2][3]
