Season report

First half

The 2025 season of Fórmula Nacional Argentina began at Autódromo de Concepción del Uruguay with CB Racing's Julián Ramos leading MG Ramini's Lautaro Campione in qualifying.[36] The first race began with Nazareno López, driving for the eponymous Naza López Competición team, moving from third to first place. From that point on, he led the rest of the race to take his maiden win ahead of Ramos and MR Racing's Bautista Faccioli.[37] The second race was won by Campione, who was able to move past Ramos after the latter struggled with car damage. He still managed to take second to leave the round with a 16-point championship lead, while Buenos Aires Racing's Santino Roberi took third.[38]

The Autódromo San Nicolás hosted round two, where Fauro Sport's Manuel Álvarez Castaño took his maiden pole position in qualifying. That saw him start eighth in the first race, and he rose to the front to claim his maiden victory on the same day, leading Porcelli Racing's Malek Fara and Ramos.[39] He had less pace in race two, dropping from pole position to seventh at the chequered flag, allowing MG Ramini's Santiago Chiarello to take the win ahead of Fara and CB Racing's Daniella Ore after starting fourth. Championship leader Ramos failed to finish the race, but still managed to grow his championship lead to 17 points after second-placed Campione had a similarly bad weekend.[40]

Round three was held at Autódromo Oscar y Juan Gálvez. Ramos was back on top in qualifying to take another pole position, ahead of Jorge Typek's Tomás Campra and Ore.[41] Victory in the first race went the way of López, who started in fourth place and steadily moved up the order to take victory. Ore and Campione followed within a second of the leader to complete the podium.[42] Race two saw a big shakeup in the results when both Ramos and Ore were disqualified for procedural breaches. That meant Álvarez Castaño was able to take the victory ahead of Fara and Campra. His win also saw him move into the lead of the championship standings by a single point over Ramos.[43]

Teams and drivers then travelled to Autódromo Ciudad de Concordia, where Ramos claimed pole position in qualifying once again, this time ahead of Chiarello.[44] The first race was shaped by a battle between the Jorge Typek pair of Julio Velázquez and Sofía Percara, with the former coming out on top to take his maiden series victory. Ramos took second, retaking the championship lead, while Chiarello completed the podium.[45] Ramos then dominated the second race, leading Velázquez to take his first win of the year. With Álvarez Castaño third after only managing seventh in race one, Ramos had now rebuilt a 16-point cushion over the pre-event standings leader.[46]

The first half of the season ended at Autódromo Ciudad de Nueve de Julio with a maiden pole position for Campra.[47] The first race saw a remarkable victory for defending champion Chiarello, who started fifth and moved up the order through the race, leading MR Racing's Tomás Fernández and Ramos at the finish.[48] He doubled up in race two, spending the opening part of the race conserving his tires to attack at the end. His tenth series victory saw him take second place in the standings. Polesitter Campra faded to ninth, while Ramos finished second, adding consistent points to his championship lead which now stood at 29 points. Fara completed the podium in third.[49]

Second half

Up next was round six, held at Autódromo Parque Ciudad de General Roca, which saw another maiden polesitter in Grinovero Team's Benjamín Squaglia.[50] He continued his pace in the first race, following up his qualifying success with a second place, only bested by championship leader Ramos. Álvarez Castaño completed the podium, returning to the front after a weekend off the pace.[51] Squaglia converted his pole position into a maiden victory after fending off Álvarez Castaño all race. Still, second place ahead MR Racing's Pedro Marriezcurrena was enough for the latter to retake second place in the standings, albeit now 36 points behind runaway leader Ramos, who finished the race in sixth place.[52]

Fórmula Nacional then returned to Buenos Aires for two more race weekends. Campra managed the wet conditions in qualifying to claim pole position for round seven, ahead of López and Ramos.[53] The opening race initially saw a win for Ore, but she was disqualified for a technical infringement. That promoted Álvarez Castaño to the top spot, ahead of López and Ubaldo Ayala's Federico Díaz.[54] Campra then converted his pole position to a maiden win in the category in race two, leading Ore, who had started seventh and moved up the order to bounce back from her disqualification, and standings leader Ramos, who now held a 38-point lead over Álvarez Castaño in the championship.[55]

Ore claimed her maiden pole position ahead of Campra and Ramos in qualifying for the series' third round at Buenos Aires.[56] A maiden polesitter was followed by a maiden race winner in the first race, with Ferreira Motorsport's Stefano Cagnolo making the most of his fourth-place start to lead Campra and Campione to victory.[57] Ore could not convert her pole position into a win in race two, instead fading to finish eleventh. Ramos won a race-long battle for the lead between him and Álvarez Castaño to take win number three of his campaign. Faccioli returned to the podium for the first time since the season opener in third as Ramos grew his championship lead over Álvarez Castaño to 59 points.[58]

Two rounds and four races held at the Autódromo Eusebio Marcilla across a single weekend rounded out the season, and pole position in the opening qualifying session went to López.[59] The first race was won by a series debutant for CB Racing, competing under the pseudonym "Chuck". He had started the race second and moved past Campione into the lead to take the win ahead of Díaz and López. Ramos was sixth, but with Álvarez Castaño missing the final two rounds, the title was already almost his.[60] He confirmed that by winning the second race of the weekend, leading Campra and polesitter López to claim the championship title with two races to spare.[61]

Fresh off the back of his championship success, Ramos went on to claim the final pole position of the year for the last two races at Junín.[62] That handed Marriezcurrena reversed-grid pole position for the first race, but he faded to eighth during the race. López was the first to move past him, claiming a lead he would not relinquish as he won the race ahead of Campra and Chiarello.[63] Polesitter Ramos then had a similar race to Marriezcurrena in race two, also dropping down the order to finish ninth. López was the beneficiary once again as he claimed another victory, while Campra secured the runner-up spot in the championship with second and "Chuck" completed the final podium of the season in third.[64]
