The 2009 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Championship marked the 21st iteration of the British Formula Renault Championship. The competition commenced and concluded at Brands Hatch, spanning from 5 April to 4 October, and featured twenty races held throughout England. Despite missing the initial rounds, Dean Smith clinched the championship title. Meanwhile, Harry Tincknell earned the Graduate Cup, awarded to rookie drivers.

Background

Although the 2008 financial crisis raised doubts regarding participant numbers, the entry list grew to 26 cars ahead of the season opener at Brands Hatch. The primary title contenders included James Calado from Fortec Motorsport and Dean Stoneman representing Alpine Motorsport, both entering their second seasons with previous victories, as reflected by their strong pre-season testing performances. By the time of the second event at Thruxton, the grid expanded further to 29 competitors.
