Season report

First half

The Autódromo Ciudad de Viedma hosted the first round of the 2026 Fórmula 2 Argentina season. Twelve cars entered the opening round, but the fastest man in qualifying was Gabriel Werner Competición's Franco Ledesma.[22] However, he lost the lead of the pre-final shortly after the start, with LR Team's Sebastián Caram taking over at the head of the field. He led Ledesma and Martínez Competición's Lautaro Videla home to win on debut.[23] The final race saw Ledesma beat both his opponents at the head of the field as he claimed victory, with Ledesma leading the standings after taking second again and Caram finishing third, a single point behind Videla in the championship.[24]

The second round was held at the Autódromo Parque Provincia del Neuquén, and Videla beat Ledesma in qualifying to take his maiden pole position.[25] He led the pre-final from lights to flag to secure victory and with it the lead in the championship standings. Ledesma took second place, while Gabriel Werner's Federico Piper overtook Caram to claim third place.[26] The final race brought more of the same as Videla swept the weekend by taking another lights-to-flag victory. Ledesma finished second once again despite having to combat reliability issues. The podium was completed by Gabriel Werner's Juan Pablo Leonardelli after he battled with Piper and the latter was unable to finish the race.[27]

Round three at the Autódromo de Concepción del Uruguay saw Ledesma return to the top spot in qualifying ahead of Leonardelli and Piper.[28] Ledesma kept his advantage in the pre-final as he led lights-to-flag to secure pole position for the final race. Leonardelli was unable to retain his second place as he dropped to fifth, with Piper and ESG Fórmula driver Joaquín Pagola securing the podium spots. Ledesma's pace continued throughout the final race as he held on to first place and secured victory to also claim a 14-point championship lead as pre-event leader Videla finished both races outside the podium places. Piper took second once again as third went to ESG Fórmula driver Ignacio Monti.[29]

The Autódromo Termas de Río Hondo held round four - pole position continued to rotate between Ledesma and Videla, with the latter on top this time.[30] He remained unchallenged in the pre-final and converted his starting position into victory as Monti came second and Gabriel Werner Competición's Salvador Audisio completed the podium in third.[31] The final race saw Videla continue his dominance as he claimed yet another untroubled victory. Monti took second once again, while Ledesma was able to battle past Audisio to claim third and minimize the damage to his championship campaign. Videla and Ledesma ended the weekend equal on points, with Videla ahead on countback.[32]

Leonardelli was the driver to claim pole for round five at the Autódromo Oscar Cabalén, with Monti starting second.[33] He had a poor start to the pre-final, allowing Monti to take the lead right away. Gabriel Werner's reigning champion Valentino Alaux tried battling Videla for second throughout the race, allowing Monti to gap them and secure victory.[34] Videla began the final race by taking the lead from Monti. He fended the polesitter off until Pagola took second on lap six and began pressuring the leader. Videla was able to hold on to the lead to claim his sixth race win of the season, moving 23 points clear of Ledesma, who had a difficult weekend, finishing the final in sixth after retiring in the pre-final.[35]

The first half of the season concluded at the Autódromo Rosamonte with Videla claiming the third pole position of his campaign.[36] He was able to convert that into a lights-to-flag victory in the pre-final, leading Ledesma and Monti to once again grow his championship lead. The final brought a different outcome, however, as Videla lost out to Ledesma and Monti in the opening laps. The latter two spent the race fighting over the lead, with both leading at different stages. That battle culminated in the final corner, where a move for the lead saw Monti run wide, allowing Ledesma to win by 0.029 seconds, with Videla also just 0.054 seconds behind in third. That brought Videla's lead down to 21 points.[37]

Second half

Ledesma also claimed his third pole position in qualifying for round seven at the Circuito San Juan Villicum.[38] Videla started the pre-final alongside him and was able to claim the lead right at the start of the race. Monti was also able to move past Ledesma mid-race, displacing the poleman to third at the chequered flag.[39] Ledesma bounced back in the final race, where he started first and quickly overtook Monti to move into second. Race leader Videla then suffered technical issues, leading to him dropping to third and allowing Ledesma to take his second final victory in a row. With Videla and Ledesma sharing wins, Ledesma was unable to significantly reduce Videla's points lead in the championship.[40]
