The 2021 Formula Nordic season will be the ninth season of the single-seater championship, and the third 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 will begin on 18 June at Skellefteå Drivecenter Arena, and will conclude on 9 October at Ring Knutstorp after seven rounds.[3] This season marked the start of a three season deal with Yokohama as the series' tyre supplier.[4]
