Season report
First half The 2026 season of the Fórmula Nacional Argentina began at the Autódromo Eduardo Copello with Giavedoni Motor Sport driver Tomás Campra taking pole position in qualifying. That meant he actually started the sole race of the weekend in sixth place, but he quickly rose up the order, taking the lead and controlling the race from that point to take victory. Series debutant Renzo Sabatini took second for Ferreira Motorsport, with MG Ramini's Luciano Vicino finishing third to take second in the standings behind Campra.
Two races at the Autódromo Ciudad de Concordia followed, and Campra took pole position once again in qualifying. The first race saw a close battle for victory: Campra eventually came out on top by just 0.2 seconds over Sabatini, with Campra's teammate Alejandro Guttlein completing the podium in third place. The final race saw Campra start from sixth place, but he once again made quick work of his competitors and dominated the race, winning by more than eleven seconds over Ferreira Motorsport's returning driver Daniella Oré. Sabatini kept his podium streak going by finishing third, but now trailed Campra by 37 points after the championship leader continued his run of maximum points.
The third round, held at Autódromo Provincia de La Pampa, was impacted by rain throughout. The track was already wet throughout practice and qualifying as Guttlein took his maiden pole position after Sabatini set the fastest time and was excluded on technical grounds. Sabatini therefore started last, and completed a remarkable feat in the first race as he bested the wet conditions and rose up the order, taking the lead even before the halfway point of the race. He took victory ahead of MR's Bautista Faccioli and poleman Guttlein, shortening Campra's championship lead to 25 points. The second race of the weekend was first put on hold and then later cancelled due to the worsening rain.
The Autódromo San Nicolás hosted round four, where Faccioli took his maiden pole position in qualifying ahead of Sabatini and Campra. Faccioli managed the first race to secure an unchallenged lights-to-flag victory. Sabatini behind him quickly faded from his second place as Campra and Guttlein fought over the runner-up spot, with Campra coming out ahead. Wet weather changed the conditions ahead of the second race, but when it began, Campra made quick work of Faccioli to take the lead. He controlled the race to take victory and increase his championship lead to 47 points. Faccioli eventually retired as MR's Benjamín Squaglia and Cudina's Milton Cudina completed the podium.
Faccioli doubled up in qualifying at the Autódromo Provincia de La Pampa by claiming another pole position, with Campra second this time. The first race, however, belonged to Sabatini, who started fifth and immediately rose up to contend for the lead. He was able to overtake Faccioli and claim his second victory, while the podium was completed by Pieraligi Sprint's Fabricio Toselli, who rose up twelve spots to third. The second race, disrupted by multiple incidents including a four-car crash in the late stages, was won by Campra, who led debutants José Sánchez and Franco Meschini, before the former was disqualified and Faccioli inherited third. Campra grew his championship lead to 52 points.
Second half The second half of the year began at the Autódromo Eusebio Marcilla with Campra leading the field by almost a second in qualifying. He controlled the opening race as Squaglia slotted into second. A fight for third place between Buenos Aires Racing's Santino Roberi and MG Ramini's Manuel Costan then ended in a collision, resulting in a late-race safety car and Della Santina claiming third. Campra followed his race one win with another dominant display in race two as he quickly rose from third on the grid to the lead. He took another victory to extend his championship lead to 80 points. Squaglia took second despite a gearbox issue, while Sabatini completed the podium in third place.
