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.[16] 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.[17] 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.[18]
