# 2009 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Championship

The 2009 Formula Renault 2.0 UK Championship was the 21st British Formula Renault Championship.

Harry Tincknell won the Graduate Cup for first-year drivers.

## Formula Renault UK season

### Background

Despite initial fears of the financial crisis of 2007–2008 causing a lack of entries into the championship, the series' grid increased from the previous season with a total of 26 entries prior to the championship's opening race at Brands Hatch. Most of the pre-season anticipation centred around the two championship favourites: Fortec Motorsport's James Calado and Alpine Motorsport's Dean Stoneman, both in their second season and boasting victories in their début season in the series, with pre-season testing further backing media predictions that the championship would most likely be decided between the pair. The series swelled to 29, for the second meeting at Thruxton.
