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.[20] 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.[21] 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.[22]
The second round was held at the Autódromo Parque Provincia del Neuquén, and Videla beat Ledesma in qualifying to take his maiden pole position.[23] 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.[24] 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.[25]
Round three at the Autódromo de Concepción del Uruguay saw Ledesma return to the top spot in qualifying ahead of Leonardelli and Piper.[26] 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.[27]
