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]

Championship standings

Scoring system

Every driver taking part in qualifying or in one of the two races of a weekend and setting a time was awarded five points.[47]

Qualifying points

Each qualifying session awarded one point to the fastest driver. Afterwards, the five fastest drivers took part in the "super qualifying" session, each setting one lap to set the top five positions. These five drivers were also awarded points, provided they set a lap:[47]

Position in qualifying 1st
Points 1
Position in super qualifying 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th
Points 5 4 3 2 1

Race points

Position  1st   2nd   3rd   4th   5th   6th   7th   8th   9th   10th   11th   12th   13th   14th   15th 
Points 25 20 17 15 13 11 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The worst weekends points-wise of each driver was dropped. Rounds where a driver was excluded or disqualified from a race were not allowed to be dropped.
