The 2017 Formula Renault Northern European Cup represented the twelfth edition of this single-seater racing championship, designed to develop promising young talent across Europe.
Drivers and teams
During the Spa event, several competitors adopted alternative car numbers following Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 regulations; these Spa-specific numbers are indicated in tooltips.
The initial calendar for the 2017 season was released on December 2, 2016, with Circuit Paul Ricard confirmed as the seventh location on December 28, 2016. Subsequently, the schedule was adjusted to feature only five rounds, resolving timing overlaps with the 2017 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 series. During the Spa event, Northern European Cup drivers competed alongside Eurocup participants; however, Eurocup entrants were not eligible for NEC points. Although Sacha Fenestraz and Gabriel Aubry secured victories on track, they were not awarded NEC trophies.
