After Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Czech Republic, the NEC joins the AvD for the final event in Italy. Although the title has been given away during the last event in Most, plenty of action is expected for the second and third place in the championship. Finally, not only the first one wins, but the first three drivers of the Northern European Cup are awarded with a test in the Formula Renault 3.5 World Series car planned for the beginning of November.
KEO Racing and Daltec, both with two drivers, join the permanent teams of the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup such as SL Formula, Van Amersfoort Racing, KTR, Koiranen Brothers, MP Motorsport and Inter Europol Competition. With a total of 24 registered drivers, the organisation of the championship can look back on a very successful season, always having over 20 cars on each starting grid.
