The 2015 Formula Renault 1.6 Nordic season was the third season of the Formula Renault 1.6 Nordic, a series running 1600cc Formula Renault machinery in similar fashion to the French F4 Championship, and the last one to run under the backing of Renault. The series began on 9 May at Skövde Airport and ended on 26 September at Ring Knutstorp, after fifteen races held in seven venues. Most of these rounds were held in support of the 2015 Scandinavian Touring Car Championship season, joint organiser of the series along with the FIA Northern European Zone Organisation.
The series uses all-carbon Signatech chassis, 1.6-litre 140bhp Renault K4MRS engines, and Michelin tyres.[1]
