The 2024 Formula Nordic season is the twelfth season of the Swedish-based single-seater championship, and the sixth independent of the STCC branding, following the formation of the series' association in the wake of the STCC promoter's bankruptcy in 2018.[1][2] Formula Nordic continues 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 Anderstorp Raceway, and concluded on 29 September at Jyllands-Ringen after 18 races held over six rounds.[3] This was the fourth season with Yokohama as the series' tyre supplier.[4]

Race calendar and results

edit

The season will begin on 3 May at Anderstorp Raceway, and will conclude on 29 September at Jyllands-Ringen, on a second-time visit to Denmark for the series, after 15 races held over six rounds. The rounds at Karlskoga, Falkenberg and Jyllands-Ringen are held together with the Nordic 4 Championship, after an agreement between the two series was reached in 2023 order to have combined grids,[12] and will be triple-header rounds, whereas the remaining stand-alone rounds will have two races each. From this season onwards, Formula Nordic will adapt the grid conformation format from Nordic 4 for the shared rounds.[13]
