Reigning F3 champion, Rafael Camara will graduate into F2 with Invicta for the 2026 season.
Camara’s move will mark the third straight season in which the reigning F3 champion won that category with Trident, then stepped up to F2 with Invicta after Gabriel Bortoleto and Leonardo Fornaroli made the same moves in recent two seasons.
Bortoleto went on to win the 2024 title and is now in F1 with Sauber, whilst Fornaroli leads the current standings with two rounds of the season left.
“I’m very proud to be joining Invicta Racing for my first season in Formula 2,” explained Camara who remains part of Ferrari Driver Academy.
“Over the past few years, this team has become the top target for any driver who wants to race in F2 and has shown time and again that it knows how to develop young drivers.
“To follow Gabriel Bortoleto and Leonardo Fornaroli in making this step as Formula 3 Champion is a huge honour. After an incredible season in F3 this year, I feel ready for the next challenge, and I can’t wait to get started with the team.”
Invicta’s Team Principal, James Robinson added that the team are “thrilled” to sign Camara as he credited the Brazilian for his performances so far in his career.
“At every stage of his career to date, he’s shown pace, consistency, and maturity, delivering outstanding results that really speak for themselves.
“To have the reigning Formula 3 champion join the team for a third consecutive season underlines our commitment to providing the very best young talent with a platform to perform at the highest level, and we’re very excited to see what Rafael can achieve next season.”
Camara will partner Joshua Durksen next season as the Paraguayan makes a switch after two seasons with AIX Racing.
