2022 Formula Nordic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2022 Formula Nordic season was the tenth season of the Swedish-based single-seater championship, and the fourth 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 13 May at Anderstorp Raceway, and concluded on 1 October at Mantorp Park after 15 races held over seven rounds.[3] This was the second season with Yokohama as the series' tyre supplier.[4]
